Parental Controls and V-Chip
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.
Once you block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password.
By default, the software inside your TV is turned “off.”
How V-Chip Works
V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult
Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you
will receive the message, “This channel is not approved for viewing.”
Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will
only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a
rating of “Not Rated,” and programs that are considered “unrated.” The TV age-based ratings and content
themes you can block are listed on the following page.
