Parental Control; V-Chip - Sharp 20F540 L Operation Manual

Parental Control (V-CHIP Operation)
L V-CHIP
• This function allows you to restrict TV programs and also allows you to control TV usage based on
FCC data. This function is to prevent your children from watching violence or sexual scenes that may
be harmful.
• Restriction of TV programs includes two characters that contain information about the program's
MPAA rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. MPAA is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are
restricted by age and contents.
• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines you should adjust both for
complete control.
