Parental Controls and V-Chip
The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your
TV so that children cannot see certain programs,
channels, or use the front panel controls.
The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu
involve software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip)
which allows you to block TV programs and movies
based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe
children should not view. In other words, it lets you
program your TV so it won’t display certain programs.
Once you block programs, you or other adults can
unblock programs by entering a password.
By default, the software inside your TV is turned “off,” so
if you don’t want to use this feature, you can just ignore it.
