Adjusting the V-Chip settings
Important:
- Please refer to the end of this manual for "Clearing the secret number".
This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled based on FCC data.
It prevents children from watching violent or sexual scenes that may be harmful.
- Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program: the MPAA
rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines
are restricted by age and content.
- Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for
complete control.
Notes:
- All of the following conditions must be met to enable V-Chip Block:
1.The secret number is registered and V-Chip settings have been made. (See page E38.)
2."Status" is set to "On". (See page E39.)
- Even when V-Chip Block is activated, the image and sound can be output normally via the AV-OUT
terminals to AV equipment.
