Adjusting V-CHIP Settings
■
V-CHIP
• This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be
controlled based on FCC data. It prevents children from watching violent or
sexual scenes that may be harmful.
• Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about
the program: the MPAA rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA
rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and
content.
• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines,
both should be adjusted for complete control.
