V-GUIDE (PARENTAL CONTROL)

NOTE: THIS FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S FCC V-CHIP REGULATIONS.
THEREFORE, IT MAY NOT FUNCTION WITH BROADCASTS
THAT ORIGINATE IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
This Sanyo television is equipped with an electronic
V-Chip to interpret MPAA (Motion Picture Association of
America) and TV Parental Guidelines rating codes. When
these codes are detected, the DTV will automatically
display or block the program, depending upon choices you
make when setting up the V-Guide system. Content
ratings are represented by the initials: FV (fantasy
violence), L (adult language), S (sexual situations), V
(violence), and D (suggestive dialog). A rating icon will
generally appear at the beginning of a program, see chart
on page 19.
This television can be set to block programs with content
you deem as inappropriate for your children to view.
