Parental Controls and V-Chip
The choices in the US V-Chip and Canada V-Chip menus involve software inside your TV, referred
to as V-Chip, which allows you to block TV programs and movies. TV programs can be blocked by
age-based ratings, such as TV-MA (See page 22). If available, TV programs can also be blocked by
content, such as adult language (L) (See page 22). Movies can only be blocked by age-based ratings
(See page 23). Once you block programs, you can unblock them by entering a password. By default,
the software inside your TV is turned off or unlocked. For instructions to lock V-Chip, see page 21.
V-Chip - US and Canada
V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (
TV-MA, TV-14
, etc.) and content themes (Violence
(
V
), Adult Language (
L
), etc.). If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program
contains, you receive a message that the channel is currently blocked. Change the channel or press
OK to enter your password and temporarily deactivate the parental controls.
Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content
themes are blocked only if you block their age-based rating. You can also block programs that have
been given an Exempt rating, and programs that are considered unrated. See page 34 for the US and
Canada ratings explanations.
