V-CHIP OPERATION

WHAT IS THE V-CHIP?

The V-CHIP is a microprocessor control circuit which recognizes TV and Motion Picture Ratings. These ratings are contained in a special electronic identification signal that is part of many television programs and recorded videotapes.

An on-screen menu allows the parent to set a secret 4-key combination ACCESS CODE and choose which programs are suitable for viewing, and which programs should be blocked.

(Please note that we have set an initial ACCESS CODE at the factory. This initial code is VOL +, VOL +, VOL + VOL +).

Once set, the television will only display those programs whose ratings fall within the standards the parent has chosen. Programs which do not fall within the standards the parent has chosen will not be displayed unless the access code is entered.
