Parental CTRL
(Parental Control Setting)
Status
Used to enable or disable the parental control
function. This function will not be selectable from
the menu if you do not first configure your secret
number.
V-Chip
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 TV. "V-Chip" and "Status" will not be
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.
• 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.
NOTE
• The setting automatically enters "Block" for any ratings
below your selection.
• If Status is not set to "On", the configuration settings
will not work.

Canadian Rating Systems (Canadian English
ratings and Canadian French ratings)
• The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the
Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television
programming.
• While violence is the most important content element
to be rated, the structure developed takes into
consideration other program content like language,
nudity, sexuality and mature themes.
• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you
can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the
Canadian French ratings.
