The V-Guide feature is used to access the parental control restrictions. This Sanyo Digital Box is equipped with
a V-Chip that can be programmed to block shows with content you deem as inappropriate for your children to
view. There are three guidelines to choose: Movies, TV Age, and TV Content. Each category is blocked as rat-
ing information is received and decoded. The V-Guide blocked rating restricts the viewing of Digital and NTSC
