V-GUIDE (PARENTAL CONTROL) OPERATION

NOTE: This feature is designed to comply with the United States of America’s FCC V-Chip regulations. Therefore it may not func- tion with broadcasts that originate in other countries.

This Sanyo Plasma television is equipped with an electronic

V-Chip to interpret MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines rating codes. When these codes are detected, the TV will auto- matically display or block the program, depending upon choices you make when setting up the V-Guide system.

Block or Unblock Movie or TV Program

The TV will automatically block ratings above or unblock ratings below a selec- tion. For example, if you block TV rating TV-PG, ratings TV-14 and TV-MA will be blocked automatically; or if you block Movie rating PG-13, ratings R, NC17, and X will be blocked automatically.

Blocking TVY7 does not block higher ratings.

RATED GUIDELINES

SYMBOL

(Gray Boxes)

You can block portions of a TV rating by choosing one or more of the Content ratings (D, L, S, & V). By blocking just the L & S content ratings of TV-14, for example, TV- 14 rated programs with a D and/or V content rating could still be viewed.

V-Guide limits on programming received via the Analog antenna input, Digital antenna input, Video 1 input, and any 480i signals received through the Component jacks can be controlled by this TV.

V-Guide limits on digital programming received through the Component jacks are controlled by the external device connected to those jacks (such as a DVD Player or Digital Satellite Receiver). Refer to your external device’s owner’s manual for instructions on setting V-Guide limits.

Networks and local stations may or may not include the content portion of the TV Parental Guidelines.

The TV will automatically block ratings above or unblock ratings below a selection. For example, if you block TV rating TV-PG, ratings TV-14 and TV-MA will be blocked automatically; or if you block Movie rating PG-13, ratings R, NC17, and X will be blocked automatically. Blocking TVY7 does not block higher ratings.
