Somehow the parental control thing got turned on and now the tv wont let me watch hardly anything! The v.chip option wants me to input a 4 digit pin which i have no idea what it is. Help!
some one have been playing with your tv and accidentally entered a code you will to get a tech to take out the eeprom and place it back to restore you tv to norma.good luck.
According to the Samsung website, this is the method to reset the Vchip PIN.
1. Turn TV on. 2. Press power button on the remote, TV will turn off. 3. Press Mute on the remote. 4. Using the remote, press the buttons 8, then 2, then 4 5. Press the power button, TV should turn on.
At this point the PIN should be reset to four zeros.
If that doesn't work, you could have someone mess with the internal circuits as someone else posted, but I wouldn't recommend trying it yourself.
Or you could call the Samsung tech support hotline at 1-800-726-7864. Never tried it so I don't know how good their customer support is.

On one of the channels it blacks out and say's "Current Rating/Received RatingTV14/Excessive Rating". If I change the channel and then go back, it comes back on for a few minutes then blacks out again. However I cannot find parental control features anywhere in the menu. Is there a way to disable this?

Someone gave me the TV since my old one died. Can't hook it up, just has "AV1" in corner, and says all channels are unavailable. Is this the V. Chip?
