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, sports, unedited movies on premium cable and Emergency System signals), then denies access to programming if the program’s rating meets the limitations you select. In this case, the program will be blocked.
