V - Chip
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 in USA requires that every television made, starting in
1998,
be
equipped with
a
technological device
called the
V - Chip. The V - Chip can block
certain rated television
shows so
children
cannot watch.
With this device, program-rating information will be
transmitted along with the television signal, and be decoded by the
chip.
The chip will then compare the rating codes to values preset
by the viewer.
If the rating codes are higher than the preset values, the television signal will
be blocked, and a blank screen will be displayed.
LTM1555/1755 have this feature.
The V - Chip setting can be adjusted via the OSD
