V-CHIP
Understanding V-Chip
The V-Chip feature receives and processes the data that contains program content advice
sent by the broadcasters or other program providers. When programmed by the viewer, a TV
with V-Chip can respond to the content advice and block any program content that may be
considered unsuitable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is
a great feature for censoring the type of programs children watch.
In the V-Chip section you'll learn how to block channels and programs that are not rated, are
unrated, or have no rating. You will also find out how to turn these blocking features ON or OFF.
Below brief explanations are given of some terms and ratings relate to the V-Chip feature.
You can block individual channels or block programs on the basis of the ratings of the MPAA
and TV broadcasters.
