20 Setting V-Chip

TV Ratings

V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children from watching inappropriate material on TV. V-CHIP reads the rat- ings for most TV programming (except news, sports, unedit- ed movies, and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then denies viewing if the program’s rating meets the limitations you select. A “PROTECTED PROGRAM by ...” message appears on the screen. You must select a different TV chan- nel or play a Disc instead.

V-CHIP affects only TV channels. It does not block DVD play. To block DVD viewing, change the PARENTAL feature. See pages 34-35.

TV programming is rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) or according to the Television Parental Guidelines. In order to block any inappropriate programming, set your limits in both places (MPAA RATING and TV RAT- ING).

Before you begin, make sure ...
