Using The Set Rating Feature; Mpaa Rating Blocking (Independent Rating System For Movies) - Toshiba 32AF53 Owner's Manual

Using the SET RATING feature (V-Chip control)

content of the program (dialog, language, sex, violence). The
SET RATING feature in the V-CHIP CONTROL menu detects
these signals and blocks programs according to your rating selections.

ratings, as described below and on the next page.
