The choices in the US V-Chip and Canada V-Chip menus 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. If available, TV programs can also be blocked by content, such as adult language (L). Movies can only be blocked by age-based ratings. Once you block programs, you can unblock them by entering a password. By default, the software inside your TV is turned off or unlocked.

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 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.
