Parental Controls and V-Chip

The choices in the USA V-CHIP menu involve software inside your product (referred to as
V-Chip) which allow you to block TV programs and movies. Once you set Parental Controls
to block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password. Remember to activate
Master Enable so your settings take effect.
By default, the software inside your product is turned "off." For instructions to turn on V-Chip,
refer to Activate Parental Control below.

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.). 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 following sections give you more details about how to change the status of TV program
limits.
