V-CHIP SET UP

V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children from watching inappropriate material on TV. V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming (except for news and sports programs, unedited movies on premium cable channels, and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then denies access to pro- gramming if the program's rating meets the limitations you select. In this case, "PROTECTED PROGRAM by ..." message appears on the TV screen.

To block ratings, follow the steps below.

Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) or according

to the Television Parental Guidelines. In order to block any inappropriate programming, set

your limits in both places (MPAA RATING and TV RATING).
