Parental Controls

The Parental Control menu allows you to program your TV so that children cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the front panel controls. The Parental Control menu also involves software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which lets you program your TV so it won’t display certain programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view. Once you block programs, you or other adults can unblock programs by entering a password to unlock video or enter the password to edit the features in the Parental Control menu. By default, the software inside your TV is turned “off,” so if you don’t want to use this feature, you can just ignore it.

How V-Chip Works

The V-Chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the 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 and/or content themes that the program contains and the TV is locked and you tune to a program whose rating exceeds the rating limit you set, you will receive a message telling you that the program is not approved for viewing.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating and the TV is locked. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of Not Rated, and programs that are considered unrated. The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are listed on the next page.
