SETTING THE TV RATING

The Set TV Rating menu enables you to program your TV so children cannot see certain programs or channels.

The last three choices in the TV Setup menu involve software inside your TV (often called V-Chip) which allows you to “block” TV programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view. In other words, it lets you program your TV so it will not display certain programs. Once you block programs, you or other adults are not limited to only parent-approved programs; you can “unblock” programs by entering the system password.

The V-Chip software inside your TV is initially turned “off,” so if you choose not to implement it, you can just ignore it.

When turned “on,” the V-chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the V-Chip 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 or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message, “Program exceeds the TV rating limit you set,” when you turn to that particular channel.

Broadcasters are not required to provide ratings. However, you can block out programs that have been given a rating of “Not Rated,” and programs that are considered “unrated” because no code has been sent by the broadcaster.

The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are listed in the table below.
