Parental Controls and V-Chip

The choices in the US V-Chip and Canada V-Chip menus involve software inside your TV, referred to as

V-Chip, which allows you to block TV programs and movies. TV programs can be blocked by age-based

ratings, such as TV-MA (See page 30). If available, TV programs can also be blocked by content, such as

adult language (L) (See page 31). Movies can only be blocked by age-based ratings (See page 31). Once

you block programs, you can unblock them by entering a password. By default, the software inside your TV

is turned off or unlocked. For instructions to lock V-Chip, see page 30.

V-Chip - US and Canada

V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes (Violence (V), Adult

Language (L), etc.). If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you

receive a message that the channel is currently blocked. Change the channel or press OK to enter your

password and temporarily deactivate the parental controls.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes are

blocked only if you block their age-based rating. You can also block programs that have been given an

Exempt rating, and programs that are considered unrated. See page 45 for the US and Canada ratings

explanations.
