EVERY TIME I TURN ON MY TV PROTECTED PROGRAM TV-PG COME ON THE SCREEN SOMETIME IT STAY ON IT A LONG TIME SOMETIME ITS GOES OFF AND SOMETIME WHEN I TURN IT IT JUMP BACK ON IT
This problem is caused by your TV's V-chip setting.
To fix the problem:
Push the "Menu" button (on either the remote or the TV's fromt panel).
Use the "Channel Down" button to go to "V-CHIP SETUP"
Use the "Volume Up" button to select it.
In the V-chip setup screen, the rating that is selected by the user as viewable will allow that rating and only lower ratings to be viewed on that TV. (If TV-G) is selected, then any programs rated higher than TV-G will be blocked.
So, the easistway to get rid of any blocking is to set the rating to TV-MA (mature), and then any and all programs will be viewable on that set. Select "TV-MA" by hitting the "Volume Up" button after you have scrolled down to that rating with the "Channel Down" button.
Then hit "Menu" to exit out of the settings and saave your changes.
Its April 2014 and still have the small Sylvania T.V. and broke it out of storage. Thank you so much for this advice as it worked instantly!!
Thanks!! I am having the same problem, I hit a wrong button yesterday and I cannot even watch the local news, it is protecting me from evil - I guess any way. I am going to try this fix. Gotta love google.
Yes, it worked, but you have to have on a channel or program that is not is not currently being blocked.

I just have a small 13" Sylvania (6413TE) in the bedroom. About 25 percent of the chanels are blocked ("Protected Program by TC-PG). The rest of them work fine.
How can I unprotect or unblock a particular channel?

Solved my problem! My daughter can stop bugging me now.
