V-CHIP SK I UP
V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children from
watching inappropriate material on TV.
V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming (except for
news and sports programs, unedited movies on premium
cable channels, and Emergency Broadcast System sig¬
nals), then denies access to programming if the pro¬
gram's rating meets the limitations you select. In this
case, "PROTECTED PROGRAM by ..." message ap¬
pears on the TV screen.
To block ratings, follow the steps below.
• Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture
Association of America (MPAA) or according to the
Television Parental Guidelines. In order to block any
inappropriate programming, set your limits in both
places (MPAA RATING and TV RATING).
