Watching TV

Parental control (V-CHIP)

V-CHIP might not function according to the condition of the signal from the broadcasting station.

V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your TV/DVD. This tool gives parents a great degree of control over broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child viewing while blocking ones judged not suitable. It does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP feature in your TV/DVD.

V-CHIP menu will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your password. (See page 24 for password setting for parental control.)

•The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: movie ratings and TV Parental Guidelines.

•The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate television shows from 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.
