Canadian French V-Chip Rating System
18+ (Adults) Programming is for adults only. This program contains sustained
violence or extremely violent scenes.
16+ (Viewers 16 and over) Programming is not suitable for those under age 16.
This program contains frequent scenes of violence or intensely violent scenes.
13+ (Viewers 13 and over) Programming may not be suitable for children under
the age of 13. This program either contains several violent scenes or one or more
scenes that are violent enough to affect them. Viewing in the company of an adult
is therefore strongly recommended for children under the age of 13.
8+ (Viewers 8 and over) Not recommended for young children. This program is
suitable for most audiences, but it contains mild or occasional violence that could
upset young children. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore
recommended for young children (under the age of 8) who do not distinguish
between reality and imagination.
G (General Audience) This program is suitable for audiences of all ages. It contains
no violence, or any violence that it does contain is either minimal or is presented
in a humorous manner, as a caricature, or in an unrealistic way.
USA V-Chip TV Rating Limit
The V-Chip TV Rating Limit lets you decide which TV
programs can and cannot be viewed.
To set TV programming limits:
1. Choose Parental Control from the MAIN MENU (the
PASSWORD screen appears the first time you enter the
Parental Control menu). Create your password using the
number buttons on the remote.
2. Highlight and select USA V-Chip. Then select TV Ratings.
3. Once you get to the TV RATING LIMIT screen, use the
arrow buttons and OK on your remote to change the
status of a TV program rating or content theme from
View to Block.
4. For TV rating limits to take effect, turn on V-Chip active
in the PARENTAL CONTROL menu (box has check mark).
The following sections give you more details about how to
change the status of TV program limits.
Note: If you forget your password you can reset it. Make sure the TV
is off. Simultaneously press and hold VOL< on the TV’s front panel
and CLEAR on the remote for approximately 5 seconds. Enter a new
password next time you access the PARENTAL CONTROL menu.
