This Sanyo television is equipped with an electronic
V-Chip to interpret MPAA (Motion Picture Association
of America) and TV Parental Guidelines rating codes.
When these codes are detected, the TV will automati-
cally display or block the program, depending upon
choices you make when setting up the V-Guide system.
Content ratings are represented by the initials D (Sug-
gestive Dialog), L (Adult Language), S (Sexual
Situations), V (Violence), and FV (Fantasy Violence).
When programming contains any or all of these con-
ditions, these letters become part of the icon that is
displayed on the TV screen. A rating icon will gener-
ally appear in the upper left hand corner of the TV
screen (see page 18.)
This television can be set to automatically block pro-
grams with content you deem as inappropriate for your
children to view.
