Setting Parental Controls

The parental controls use a V-Chip, which is an

electronic filtering device built into your TV. This tool

gives parents a high degree of control over the

broadcasts that their children can access. It enables

parents to allow those programs that are judged

suitable for child viewing, while blocking those that are

judged not suitable. It does this automatically, once you

select a password and set the values for parental

controls.
The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV

Parental Guidelines (US TV Rating) and movie ratings:

The TV Parental Guidelines help parents screen out

television shows that are unsuitable for their

children to view.

Movie ratings are used for original movies rated

by the Motion Picture Association of America

(MPAA) that are aired on cable TV and not edited

for television. Options can also be set to block

MPAA-rated movies.
