TV Rating Settings

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 the limitations
you select. In this case,a “PROTECTED PROGRAM by ...”
message appears on the TV screen.
If the “PROTECTED...” message appears during your TV
viewing, change to a channel that is not blocked.Then,you
can access the V-Chip Setup menu and change the settings to
allow all TV viewing.
Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture
Association of America (MPAA) or according to the
Television Parental Guidelines.To block any inappropriate
programming, set your limits in both MPAA RATING and TV
RATING.
