The Parental Control Function (V-CHIP) is used to block program viewing based on the ratings sent by the broadcast stations1. The United States has two rating systems for viewing contents, TV Parental Guidelines, and movie ratings. The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate television programs from their children.

Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as watched on cable TV and not edited for television. The V-CHIP can also be set to block MPAA- rated movies.

The Parental menu includes the following options.
