V-Chip
26
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 pro-
gram 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 33 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.
