Mitsubishi WS-55517 User Manual

To view a V-Chip blocked program or to watch the 

program during a scheduled lock time, you must 
enter your 4-digit passcode or change the channel 
to an unlocked program.  Once you have entered 
the passcode, the V-Chip block or Lock by Time will 
remain released until the TV is powered Off and then 

On again.

Select V-Chip to Block or Allow programs based upon 

rating signals sent by the broadcaster.  The TV comes 
from the factory with the V-Chip Lock in the Off setting.  

You can turn the V-Chip On within the V-Chip Menu or 

you can use the V-CHIP button on the remote control to 
conveniently turn the V-CHIP On or Off.  

The factory preset is TV-PG for TV ratings or PG for 

movie ratings, allowing only programs rated TV-PG/PG 

or lower.  You can change the blocking level to various 

TV ratings and lettered categories or movie ratings.  

After changing channels or devices, there may be up to 

a 5 second delay before the V-Chip lock takes effect.

You will see the screen shown in Figure 22 when you 

select the V-CHIP submenu from the Main menu, or 
after you have canceled your passcode.  To use the 
Lock, input a four-digit passcode with the number 
buttons on the remote control, then press ENTER.  You 
can delete a number and move back one space by 
pressing CANCEL.  You can exit without inputting a 
passcode by pressing MENU or HOME.

After setting a passcode, the V-Chip Lock is active.  

The next time you select V-Chip Lock you will see 

“...enter your passcode” instead of “...enter a new 

passcode”.
