36 Setting V-Chip
V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children from
watching inappropriate material on TV.
V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming (except for news
and sports programs, unedited movies on premium cable
channels, and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then
denies access to programming if the program's rating meets
or exceeds the limitations you select. In this case, the mes-
sage PROTECTED PROGRAM by ... appears on the TV
screen.
Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture
Association of America (MPAA) or according to the
Television Parental Guidelines. In order to block any inap-
propriate programming, set your limits in both places
(MPAA Rating and TV Rating).
