V-CHIP
is
an
electronic filtering device built into your 1V. This tool gives parents a great degree of control over
broadcasts accessed by their children.
It
allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child viewing while
blocking ones judged not suitable.
It
does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP feature
in
your 1V.
"V-Chip" and "Status" will not
be
selectable from
the
menu if you do not first configure your secret
number.
(See
page

for Secret number setting for parental control.)
• The U.S. has
two
rating systems for viewing content:
1V
Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.
• The
1V
Parental Guidelines work
in
conjunction with the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate
television shows from their children.
• Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the Motion Picture Association of America
(MPAA)
as
watched on cable
1V
and not edited for television. The V-CHIP can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies.
