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 pro- grams, 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.

27DVCR55S specifications

The Philips 27DVCR55S is a versatile television designed for those who appreciate both the convenience of modern technology and the nostalgia of classic home entertainment. This model features a 27-inch screen, making it a suitable size for various room environments, whether it’s a cozy bedroom, a rustic den, or even a stylish living room.

One of its standout features is the built-in VCR, allowing users to enjoy their collection of VHS tapes seamlessly. This integration bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary viewing habits, catering to those who still cherish old movies and cassette collections. The VCR is designed with ease of use in mind, ensuring simple playback and recording functionality, which can often be a cumbersome process with separate devices.

In terms of display technology, the Philips 27DVCR55S employs a high-quality CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) screen. While many modern TVs lean towards LCD or LED displays, the CRT offers rich color reproduction and deep blacks, making it ideal for viewing older films and shows that benefit from a soft, cinematic look. The viewing angle is commendably wide, ensuring that everyone in the room can enjoy their favorite programs without missing any details.

The television also incorporates a diverse range of connectivity options. It features multiple AV inputs, allowing users to connect DVD players, gaming consoles, and other devices without hassle. The addition of coaxial and composite inputs ensures compatibility with a myriad of devices that consumers might still be using.

Sound quality is another noteworthy aspect of the Philips 27DVCR55S. The integrated speaker system is designed to deliver clear audio, complementing the visual experience nicely. While it may not compete with modern surround sound systems, it offers sufficient performance for casual viewing.

Moreover, the Philips brand is well-known for its commitment to reliable performance and durability. The 27DVCR55S exemplifies this through its robust build quality, ensuring that it can withstand years of use.

In conclusion, the Philips 27DVCR55S is an appealing choice for those looking to enjoy both classic tapes and traditional television viewing. With its integrated VCR, quality CRT display, ample connectivity options, and solid sound system, it offers a nostalgic yet functional home entertainment solution that stands the test of time.
