V-Chip

Your TV is equipped with V-Chip technology which enables TV Parental Guidelines (for United States and Canada) and Movie (MPAA) Guideline controls. V-Chip technology allows you to program your TV to receive, or not to receive, programs based on content according to the guidelines. Programs which exceed the ratings limits you set will be blocked. When a viewer attempts to watch a blocked channel, this message appears:

THIS PROGRAMMING EXCEEDS YOUR RATING LIMITS. PLEASE ENTER LOCK CODE BY 10 KEY PAD TO UNLOCK IT.

NO. - - - -

The channel will remain blocked until the correct lock code is entered (see page 36 for informa- tion on setting your lock code).

You can customize the V-Chip settings of your television to match your personal tastes. The V-Chip menu below is the starting point for your V-Chip settings

You can use US V-Chip settings (for programming broadcast from the United States), Canadian V-Chip settings (for programming broadcast from Canada), and movie ratings. You may use any or all of the settings (US V-Chip, Canada V-Chip, Movie ratings). Descriptions for setting each of the three V-Chip formats appear in the next seven pages along with descriptions of the rating categories.

This flexibility made it easy for users to connect gaming consoles, DVD players, and other entertainment devices without hassle.

Another appealing feature is the inclusion of on-screen menus that provide users with easy access to settings and adjustments. This user-friendly interface ensures smooth navigation and makes it easy for viewers to customize their viewing experience according to personal preferences.
