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" 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 conjunct ion wit h
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.
• The setting automatically enters "Block" for any ratings
below your selection.
