V-GUIDE (PARENTAL CONTROL)
NOTE:THIS FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’S FCC V-CHIP REG-
ULATIONS. THEREFORE, IT MAY NOT FUNCTION
WITH BROADCASTS THAT ORIGINATE IN OTHER
COUNTRIES.
This Sanyo television is equipped with an elec-
tronic V-Chip to interpret MPAA (Motion Picture
Association of America) and DTV Parental Guide-
lines rating codes. When these codes are
detected, the DTV will automatically display or
block the program, depending upon choices you
make when setting up the V-Guide system.
Content ratings are represented by the initials: FV
(fantasy violence), L (adult language), S (sexual
situations), V (violence), and D (suggestive dialog).
A rating icon will generally appear at the begin-
ning of a program, see chart on page 26.
This television can be set to block programs with
content you deem as inappropriate for your
children to view.

IMPORTANT FACT: The DTV will automatically block
ratings above or unblock ratings below a selection.
For example, if you block DTV rating DTV-PG, ratings
DTV-14 and DTV-MA will be blocked automatically; or

X will be blocked automatically.
Blocking TVY7 does not block higher ratings.
