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 33 for informa-
tion 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.
