Parent Controls and V-Chip
The PARENT CONTROL feature allows you to program your TV so that children
can’t see certain programs or channels.
• MPAA menu allows you to block movies and TV programs according to the
MPAA (Motion Pictures Association of America) ratings system.
• TV GUIDELINES menu allows you to block TV programs based on age,
violence, sex, or other content you don’t want your children to view.
You block and unblock programs by turning the V-Chip feature on or off in the
V-CHIP BLOCK menu, and using the password you create. Be sure to remember
your password.
By default, the software inside your TV is turned off, so if you don’t want to use
this feature, you don’t need to do anything.
How V-Chip Works
When the V-Chip software is activated (or turned on), it reads a code that most
broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the software 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, a message will appear and the channel won’t be
available for viewing.
Broadcasters aren’t required to provide content themes, so programs that aren’t
tagged with a content themes can only be blocked if you block their age-based
rating.
The TV age-based ratings and content themes and MPAA ratings are listed on
the following pages.
New Rating Systems
The TV allows you to download additional new rating systems. If you watch a
program with the new system, you can download the new V-Chip data for that
program.
