Setting the parental control
V-Chip level
V-Chip is an electronic filtering device built into your
TV. 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 television.
V-Chip and Status are not selectable from the menu if
you do not first configure your secret number.
The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content:
TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.
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.
The "V-Chip (DTV only)" will only be selectable
■
when a new rating system can be downloaded
via digital broadcasting in the U.S.
