Parent Controls and V-Chip
The PARENT CONTROL feature allows you
to
program your TV so that children
can't see certain programs
or channels.
•
MPAA menu allows you to block movies and TV programs according
to the
MPAA (Motion Pictures Association
of America) ratings system.
•
TV GUIDELINES menu allows you
to
block TV programs
based on age,
violence, sex, or other content you don't want your children to view.
You block and unblock programs
by turning the V-Chip feature on or off in the
V-CHIP BLOCK menu, and using the password
you create. Be sure to remember
your password.
By default, the software inside your TV is turned off, so if you don't want to use
this feature, you don't need to do anything.

How V-Chip Works
When the V-Chip software is activated (or turned on), it reads a code that most
broadcasters
send with programs.
That code tells the software the program's
age-based
rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult
Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that
the program
contains, a message will appear and the channel won't be
available for viewing.
Broadcasters
aren't required
to provide content themes, so programs that aren't
tagged with a content
themes can only be blocked
if you block their age-based
rating.
The TV age-based
ratings and content themes and MPAA ratings are listed on
the following pages.
