V-CHIP Settings
■ V-CHIP
• This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled based on FCC data. It prevents children from watching
violent or sexual scenes that may be harmful.
• Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program: the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of
America) rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and
content.
• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for complete control.
