Using the TV’s Features

Using the TV’s Features

The choices in the US V-CHIP and Canada V-CHIP menus 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 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, go to 
page 32.

V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence 
(V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the 
program contains, you will receive the message This channel has not been approved for viewing. 
Change channel or press OK to enter password and temporarily deactivate the Parental Control.

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 an Exempt rating, and programs that are considered unrated. The next 
several pages have tables showing the TV age-based ratings and content themes for the US and 
Canada.

The V-Chip TV Rating Limit lets you decide which TV programs can and cannot 
be viewed.

To set TV programming limits:

1.    Choose Parental Control from the MAIN MENU. If Parental Controls have 

previously been locked, you must enter your password.

2.    Highlight and select US V-Chip. Then select V-Chip TV Rating.

3.   Once you get to the V-Chip TV rating limit screen, use the arrow buttons 

and OK on your remote to change the status of a TV program rating or 
content theme from View to Block.

4.    For TV rating limits to take effect, lock Parental Controls by accessing the 

Lock parental controls menu. 

The following sections give you more details about how to change the status of 
TV program limits.
