Parental Controls and V-Chip
The choices in the USA V-CHIP menu involve software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which allows you to
block TV programs and movies based on violence, sex or other content you may believe children should not view.
Once you set Parental Controls to block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password.
By default, the software inside your TV is turned “off.” For instructions to turn on V-Chip, refer to Activate Parental 
Control 
below.
How V-Chip Works
V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes (Violence (V), Adult Language 
(L)
, etc.). Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will
only be blocked if  you block their age-based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of 
Not Rated and programs that are considered “unrated.”
The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are identified and explained in detail in Chapter 4.
The following sections give you more details about how to change the status of  TV program limits.
