Parental Controls and V-Chip

The choices in the US V-Chipand Canada V-Chipmenus involve software inside your TV, referred to as V-Chip, which allows you to block TV programs and movies. TV programs can be blocked by age-based ratings, such as TV-MA(See page 33). If available, TV programs can also be blocked by content, such as adult language (L) (See page 33). Movies can only be blocked by age-based ratings (See page 33). Once you block programs, you can unblock them by entering a password. By default, the software inside your TV is turned off or unlocked. For instructions to lock V-Chip, see page 32.

V-Chip - US and Canada

V-Chip reads 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 and/or content themes that the program contains, you receive a message that the channel is currently blocked. Change the channel or press OK to enter your password and temporarily deactivate the parental controls.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes are blocked only if you block their age-based rating. You can also block programs that have been given an Exempt rating, and programs that are considered unrated. See page 44 for the US and Canada ratings explanations.

Note: Parental control settings are not available for HDMI1, HDMI2, CMPT, or PC INPUTS. These settings must be set in the connected component’s parental controls.
