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.

Before you begin, make sure...

●The TV/VCR/DVD is on.
