V-Chip
Your TV is equipped with V-Chip technology which enables TV Parental Guidelines (for United
States and Canada) and Movie (MPAA) Guideline controls. V-Chip technology allows you to
program your TV to receive, or not to receive, programs based on content according to the
guidelines. Programs which exceed the ratings limits you set will be blocked. When a viewer
attempts to watch a blocked channel, this message appears:
The channel will remain blocked until the correct
lock code is entered (see page 26 for information
on setting your lock code). You can customize the
V-Chip settings of your television to match your
personal tastes. The V-Chip menu below is the
starting point for your V-Chip settings.
You can use US V-Chip settings (for programming
broadcast from the United States), Canadian
V-Chip settings (for programming broadcast from
Canada), and movie ratings. You may use any or all of
the settings (US V-Chip, Canada V-Chip, Movie ratings).
Descriptions for setting each of the three V-Chip
formats appear in the next seven pages
along with descriptions of the rating categories.
To access the rating categories:

Special Note about Ratings

contents of these programs or movies.
