• 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.
