V-CHIP (Parental control)
V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your System.
This tool gives parents a great degree of control over the
broadcasts within their children’s reach. It allows parents to
select programs judged suitable to child while blocking the
other judged unsuitable. It does so automatically once you
activate the V-CHIP feature in your LCD Television.
“V-Chip” will not be selectable from the menu if you do not
first configure your secret number.
• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV
Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.
• The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the V-
CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate television
shows for 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
