Parental Controls and V-Chip
The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve software inside your _V (referred to asV-Chip) which allows you to block
_V programs and movies basedon violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view.
Once you block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password.
By default, the software inside your g/is turned "off."
Note: Parental Control settings are not oveiloble for DVI, CMP1 or CMP2 inputs.
How V-Chip
Works
V-Chip reads the program's age-based rating (g/-MA, lV-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, you will receive the messageThis channel is not approved
for viewing.
Broadcastersare not required to provide content themes, so programs receivedwith no content themes will only be blocked if you
block their age-based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of "Not Rated," and programs that are
considered "unrated/' The TVage-based ratings and content themes you can block are listed in the following table.
