Setting Parental Controls

The parental controls use a V-Chip, which 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 select a password and
set the values for parental controls.
The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content:
TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.
The TV Parental Guidelines 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. Options can also be set to block
MPAA-rated movies.
