3.8.1 Using the V-Chip
The V-Chip function reads information encoded in rated programs and
blocks programs from being viewed based on the rating selected by the
parent.
Note:
The V-Chip option is only available when using TV mode in
North America.
The LCD display allows you to use both “MPAA Ratings” and “TV
Parental Guidelines” to manage the ratings that are blocked or unblocked
on your TV. For information on the V-Chip, refer to the FCC’s Web site
at: http://www.fcc.gov/vchip/.
A list of the MPAA and TV ratings and their meanings is given in the fol-
lowing tables.
