V-CHIP SET UP
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 programming
if the program’s rating meets the limitations you
select. In this case, “PROTECTED PROGRAM by
...” message appears on the TV screen. You can
watch the protected program by entering access code
(default 0000).
To block ratings, follow the steps below.
•
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).
