The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate your
components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming
any of your components, press CLEARuntil the indicator on the remote turns off.
1.
Turn on the component
you want to operate (VCR or DVD player)
2.
Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR, DVD, or
VPORT). While holding the component button, press and hold ONoOFF until the
indicator on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3.
Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5

again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched
through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If the component
does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the remote can't be
programmed to operate that component.
If the component

How V-Chip
Works
V-Chip reads the program's age-based rating [TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes
[(Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content
themes that the program contains, you will receive the message This channel has not
been approved for viewing. Change channel or press OK to enter password and temporarily
deactivate the Parental ControL
Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no
content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also
block out programs that have been given a rating of Not Rated, and programs that are
considered unrated. The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block follow:

themes: crude indecent language (L), explicit sexual activity (S), or graphic violence (V).

fantasy, or supernatural violence. Other Content Guidelines: May contain infrequent mild
profanity, or mildly suggestive language. Could also contain brief scenes of nudity.

attention is paid to themes which could threaten children's sense of security and well
