V-GUIDE (PARENTAL CONTROL) INFORMATION
NOTE: THIS FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA'S FCC V-CHIP REGULATIONS. THEREFORE, IT MAY NOT
FUNCTION WITH BROADCASTS THAT ORIGINATE IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
This Sanyo 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 automatically display or block
the program, depending upon choices you make when setting up the V-Guide system.
ABOUT MPAA AND TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES
MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines are rating systems that provide advance cautionary
information to parents about the content of movie and television programming.
The V-Guide system contain both age-based and content-based settings. This gives parents
discretionary ways of choosing appropriate material for their children to view.
Content ratings are represented by the initials D (Suggestive Dialog), L (Adult Language),
S (Sexual Situations), V (Violence), and FV (Fantasy Violence). When programming contains
any or all of these conditions, these letters become part of the icon that is displayed on the TV
screen.
A rating icon will generally appear in the upper left hand corner of the TV screen for
about fifteen seconds at the beginning of a program and should be repeated at the
beginning of the second hour of a long program. It may also appear when returning
from commercials. There may be other instances when these icons will be displayed
as well. Parents are encouraged to become familiar with these icons and their meanings.
V-GUIDE OPERATION
Use this feature to supervise television viewing for young children. This television can be set to
automatically block programs with content you deem as inappropriate for your children to view,
including: suggestive dialog, adult language, sexual situations, violence, and fantasy violence.
The ability of the television to block the reception of specific programming content depends
upon several conditions: 1) The program must be rated, 2) Networks must broadcast the rating
code data, 3) Cable companies must transmit the rating code signal, and 4) The TV must be
properly setup to decode the signal.
