Parental
The Parental Control Function (V-CHIP) is used to block program viewing
based on the ratings sent by the broadcast stations.
1
The United States has
two rating systems for viewing contents, i.e. TV Parental Guidelines and
movie ratings. The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the
V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate television programs 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.
1. Parental functions are only available in the United States of America and
contingent upon the availability of the TV net work programming.
