Parental Control
(Parental Control Setting)
V-Chip
V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your TV.
This tool gives parents a great degree of control over
broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows parents to
select programs judged suitable for child viewing while
blocking ones judged not suitable. It does so automatically
once you activate the V-CHIP feature in your TV. "V-Chip"
and "Status" will not be selectable from the menu if you do
not first configure your secret number.
The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV
Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.
The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the
V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate
television shows from their children.
Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the
Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as
watched on cable TV and not edited for television. The
V-CHIP can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies.
ENG 4-8
NOTE
The setting automatically enters "Block" for any ratings
below your selection.
If Status is not set to "Enable", the configuration settings
will not work.
