V-CHIP SET UP
V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their chil- dren from watching inappropriate material on TV.
V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming (except for news and sports programs, unedit- ed 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, "PROTECTED PRO- GRAM by ..." message appears on the TV screen.
To block certain ratings, follow the steps below.
●Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) or according to the Television Parental Guidelines. In order to block any inappro- priate programming, set your limits in both places (MPAA RATING and TV RATING).
●You cannot access the menu when the "PROTECTED PROGRAM by ..." message appears. In this case, change to an unblocked channel, then press the MENU button.
