V-GUIDE (PARENTAL CONTROL)

NOTE:THIS FEATURE IS DESIGNEDTO COMPLY WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’S FCCV-CHIP REG- ULATIONS. THEREFORE, IT MAY NOT FUNCTION WITH BROADCASTS THAT ORIGINATE IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

This Sanyo television is equipped with an electronic V-Chip to interpret MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) and DTV Parental Guidelines rating codes. When these codes are detected, the DTV will automatically display or block the program, depending upon choices you make when setting up the V-Guide system. Content ratings are represented by the initials: FV (fantasy violence), L (adult language), S (sexual situations), V (violence), and D (suggestive dialog). A rating icon will generally appear at the beginning of a program, see chart on page 26.

This television can be set to block programs with content you deem as inappropriate for your children to view.

7 When you have finished making adjust- ments, press the EXIT key to return to normal DTV viewing.
