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
signals),
then denies access to pro-
gramming
if the program's
rating meets the limitations
you select. In this case, "PROTECTED
PROGRAM
by ..." message
appears 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).
• You cannot access the menu when the "PROTECTED
PROGRAM
by ..." message
appears.
In
this case, change to the unblocked
channel,
then press the MENU button.
