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 gen-
erally appear at the beginning of a program, see chart on
page 23.
This television can be set to block programs with content
you deem as inappropriate for your children to view.

You can block portions of a TV rating by choosing one or
more of the Content ratings (D, L, S, & V). By blocking just
the L & S content ratings of TV-14, for example, TV-14 rated
programs with a D and/or V content rating could still be
viewed.

V-Guide limits on programming received via the Analog
antenna input, Digital antenna input, Video 1 input, and any
480i signals received through the Component jacks can be
controlled by this TV.
I
V-Guide limits on digital programming received through
the Component jacks are controlled by the external device
connected to those jacks (such as a DVD Player or Digital
Satellite Receiver). Refer to your external device's owner's
manual for instructions on setting V-Guide limits.

rating TV-PG, ratings TV-14 and TV-MA will be blocked auto-
matically; or if you block Movie rating PG-13, ratings R,
NC17 , and X will be blocked automatically. Blocking TVY7
does not block higher ratings.
