Sanyo DS24424 - Manual (Page 14)

NOTE: THIS FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA’S FCC V-CHIP REGULATIONS. THEREFORE, IT MAY NOT FUNCTION
WITH BROADCASTS THAT ORIGINATE IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
This Sanyo television is equipped with an electronic V-Chip to interpret MPAA and TV Parental
Guidelines rating codes. When these codes are detected, the TV will automatically display or block
the program, depending upon choices you make when setting up the V-Guide system.
The V-Guide system contain both age-based and content-based settings. This gives parents
discretionary ways of choosing appropriate material for their children to view.
Content ratings are represented by the initials D (Suggestive Dialog), L (Adult Language),
S (Sexual Situations), V (Violence), and FV (Fantasy Violence). When programming contains
any or all of these conditions, these letters become part of the icon that is displayed on the TV
screen.
A rating icon will generally appear in the upper left hand corner of the TV screen for
about fifteen seconds.
V-Guide (Parental Control) Information
Use this feature to supervise television viewing for young children. This television can be set to
automatically block programs with content you deem as inappropriate for your children to view.
The ability of the television to block the reception of specific programming content depends
upon several conditions: 1) The program must be rated, 2) Networks must broadcast the rating
code data, 3) Cable companies must transmit the rating code signal, and 4) The TV must be
properly setup to decode the signal.
