Parental Controls and V-Chip
The choices in the US V-Chip and Canada V-Chip menus involve software inside your TV, referred
to as V-Chip, which allows you to block TV programs and movies. TV programs can be blocked by
age-based ratings, such as TV-MA (See page 22). If available, TV programs can also be blocked by
content, such as adult language (L) (See page 22). Movies can only be blocked by age-based ratings
(See page 23). Once you block programs, you can unblock them by entering a password. By default,
the software inside your TV is turned off or unlocked. For instructions to lock V-Chip, see page 21.
V-Chip - US and Canada
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 receive a message that the channel is currently blocked. Change the channel or press
OK to enter your password and temporarily deactivate the parental controls.
Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content
themes are blocked only if you block their age-based rating. You can also block programs that have
been given an Exempt rating, and programs that are considered unrated. See page 34 for the US and
Canada ratings explanations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What’s the quickest way to view High Denition (HD) video?
Connect an off-air antenna to the ANTENNA/CABLE Input to view free local digital channels. You may
need to purchase an antenna. (See page 11 for more information).
Visit www.antennaweb.org for assistance in deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the local
digital channels available to you. By entering your location, this mapping program tells you which local
analog and digital stations are available using a certain antenna.
Are there other ways to view High Denition (HD) video?
Besides using an off-air antenna as mentioned above, you can also use a set-top box to receive
digital video. Contact your cable company or satellite provider to purchase digital programming
and have them connect the box to ensure you are viewing channels the best way.
How do I tell an analog channel from a digital channel?
Press the INFO button to display the Channel Banner. Look the channel number at the bottom right
corner of the screen. The dot “•” is displayed for a for a digital channel, if no dot, its for an analog
channel.(P18)
Why are there bars on my screen, and can I get rid of them?
Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which lls your screen, but is sometimes sent in 4/3 which
does not ll your screen. It depends on how the station or device connected to your TV is formatting
the video. If there are bars on the screen, press the FORMAT button to try a different format that
may eliminate the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of the way the format is sent by the
broadcaster. The format changes as you press the FORMAT button and the format type is displayed at
the bottom of the screen. For more information on screen formats, go to page 19.
Why does channel search nd a lot of channels, but when I try to tune to them, there’s nothing
there?
Some channels enabled by the cable company don’t carry programming, such as video ondemand.
When channels are unavailable, your TV screen is blank or appears like snow. You probably want to
remove these channels from your channel list. Remove these in the Channel Skipt Menu. Go to page
23 for more information.
Why does the rst channel search take a long time?
If you have both analog and digital channels, the TV is looking for all available channels in the channel
list. If you do have digital channels, the TV is also searching for scrambled channels, non-scrambled
channels, and each sub-channel of that digital channel.

Troubleshooting
Most problems you encounter with your TV can be corrected by consulting the following
troubleshooting list.
TV Problems
The TV won’t turn on.
Make sure the TV is plugged in.
Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in another device.
The side panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the side panel
controls.
Select the Button Block feature on the Parental Control Menu and press OK to uncheck the box.
There is no picture and no sound but the TV is on.
You may be tuned to an input with no component connected to it. If you're trying to view a
connected component, press INPUT until the picture from that component appears.
The Signal Type option may be set incorrectly. Go to page 22 for detailed instructions.
The channel may be blank. Try changing channels.
If you’re watching your VCR and it’s connected with coaxial cable to the ANTENNA/CABLE jack,
tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is selected on the 3/4 switch on the back of your
VCR). Also make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/
VCR button on your VCR).
The sound is ne, but the picture is poor quality.
If you're getting a black and white picture from a component you've connected to your TV, you might
have your video cables connected to the wrong jacks. A yellow video cable connects to the yellow
VIDEO INPUT jack on the side or back of your TV; three video cables or bundled component video
cables (red, blue, and green) connect to the corresponding COMPONENT INPUT jacks on the
back of your TV.
Check the antenna connections. Make sure all of the cables are rmly connected to the jacks.
Try adjusting the sharpness function to improve weak signals. Go to page 20 for more instructions.
There is no sound, but the picture is ne.
The sound might be muted. Try pressing the volume up button to restore sound.
If using DVIor Y, PB, PR, remember to also connect the device’s left and right audio output jacks to
the TV’s L and R AUDIO INPUT jacks.
The sound settings may not be set correctly. Go to page 21 for more information.
If your audio source has only one jack or is a (mono) audio source, make sure you have plugged
the connection into the Left AUDIO INPUT jack on the TV.
The screen is blank.
Check your connections. If you used yellow, red, and white cables to connect, make sure they're
connected to the yellow, red, and white VIDEO INPUT jacks on the side or back of the TV.
If you're trying to watch something that's playing on a component connected to the TV (like a DVD),
press INPUT until you get to the correct video input channel.
Make sure the component connected to the TV is turned on.
Try another channel.

Unusable Signal message onscreen, press the INFO button on the remote. If Acquiring Channel
appears in the Channel Banner, the HDMI or DVI device isn’t responding. Contact the manufacturer
of the HDMI or DVI device for further assistance.
If you tune to the HDMI 1 or HDMI 2, or HDMI 3 (if available) input and you see snow, the video
goes in and out, or the video takes a long time to appear, your HDMI or DVI component is having
trouble sending video information to the TV. Re-connect your device. Reset the power by unplugging
the power cord and plugging it back in. If problems persist, try connecting the Y Pb Pr jacks if they
are available or contact the manufacturer of the HDMI or DVI component for further assistance.

Chapter 4 Other Information
The Remote control doesn’t work.
Something might be between the remote and the remote light sensor on the front of the TV. Make
sure there is a clear path.
The remote may not be aimed directly at the TV.
The batteries in the remote may be weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the
remote.
The Universal Remote control doesn’t work.
This TV utilizes new remote control signal codes and may not be compatible with your existing
universal remote (e.g. satellite box remotes, cable box remotes, generic universal remotes, etc.).
Over time, newer universal remote controls that become available should pick up the new TV codes.
You are experiencing problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls.
If the rating limits don’t work, you must lock the settings. Slect V-Chip in the Parental Control Menu,
then press to go to next screen. “Rating Enable“ is highlighted, press to select On mode to
have the rating limits take effect.
The V-Chip won’t let me watch a program, even though it’s not rated as violent.
Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must set
NR to View Separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.
What else can I do?
If you’ve been through the Troubleshooting section and nothing has xed your problem, try rebooting
your TV. Note that after a reboot, you may need to run your TV through the setup process again. To
reboot, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet or power strip. Keep your TV unplugged for about
5 minutes. Then plug in the TV and turn it on. See if the problem is xed. If the problem remains, then
please click on the Customer Support Menu at www.rca.com/television for updated FAQs or contact
RCA Customer Support at the support number provided in your Warranty under How To Get Service.

for adult audiences. Other Content Guidelines: May contain graphic language and explicit portrayals of
nudity and/or sex.

viewers under the age of 14. Parents are strongly cautioned to exercise discretion in permitting viewing
by pre-teens and early teens. Violence Guidelines: May contain intense scenes of violence. Could deal
with mature themes and societal issues in a realistic fashion. Other Content Guidelines: May contain
scenes of nudity and/or sexual activity. There could be frequent use of profanity.

may see on television. Any realistic depictions of violence will be infrequent, discreet, of low intensity
and will show the consequences of the acts. Other Content Guidelines: There will be no profanity,
nudity or sexual content.
C (Children) Programming intended for children under age 8. Violence Guidelines: Careful attention

or any violence that it does contain is either minimal or is presented in a humorous manner, as a
