Parent Control (V-CHIP Operation)

HV-CHIP

•This function allows you to restrict TV programs and also allows you to control TV usage based on FCC data. This function is to prevent your children from watching violence or sexual scenes that may be harmful.

•Restriction of TV programs includes three characters that contain information about the program’s MPAA rating, the TV Parental Guidelines and Canadian rating system. MPAA and Canadian rating system are restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and contents.

•Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating, the TV Guidelines or the Canadian rating system (if with Canada program), you should adjust all for complete control.
