32 Setting V-Chip

V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children from watching inappropriate material on TV.

V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming (except for news and sports programs, unedited movies on premium cable channels, and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then denies access to programming if the program’s rating meets or exceeds the limitations you select. In this case, the mes- sage PROTECTED PROGRAM by ... appears on the TV screen.The viewer must select a different TV channel or watch a videotape instead.
