two rating systems for viewing contents, 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.
