Using the TV’s Features

Parental Controls and V-Chip

The choices in the USA V-CHIPmenu involve software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which allows you to block TV programs and movies based on violence, sex or other content you may believe children should not view.

Once you block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password.

By default, the software inside your TV is turned “off.” For instructions to turn on V-Chip, refer to Activate Parental Control below.

How V-Chip Works

V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA,TV-14, etc.) and content themes (Violence (V), Adult Language

(L), etc.). If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message: This channel has not been approved for viewing. Change channel or press OK to enter password and temporarily deactivate the Parental Control.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of Not Rated and programs that are considered unrated.

The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are identified and explained in detail in Chapter 4.

The following sections give you more details about how to change the status of TV program limits.
