Blocking TV programs and movies by
rating (V-Chip)

dialogue, language). The V-Chip feature in this TV
detects the signals and blocks the programs according
to the ratings you select. (For rating descriptions, see the
tables on the next page.)
Note: Rating blocking is a function of the V-Chip feature in
this TV, which supports the U.S. V-Chip system only.
