Setting V-CHIP
V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children
from watching inappropriate material on TV.
V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming (except
for news and sports programs, unedited movies on
premium cable channels and Emergency Broadcast
System signals), then denies access to program-
ming if the program's rating meets or exceeds the
limitations you select. In this case, a "PROTECTED
PROGRAM by..." message appears on the TV
screen.
To block certain ratings, follow the steps below.
NOTE:
• Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture Association of
America (MPAA) or according to the Television Parental
Guidelines. In order to block any inappropriate programming, set
your limits in both places (MPAA RATING and TV RATING).
•You cannot access the menu when the "PROTECTED PRO-
GRAM by..." message appears. In this case, change to an
unblocked channel, then press SETUP button.
