Setting Parental Controls

The parental controls use a V-Chip, which is an
electronic filtering device built into your TV. This tool
gives parents a high degree of control over the
broadcasts that their children can access. It enables
parents to allow those programs that are judged
suitable for child viewing, while blocking those that are
judged not suitable. It does this automatically, once
you select a password and set the values for parental
controls.
The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content:
TV Parental Guidelines (US TV Rating) and movie
ratings:
The TV Parental Guidelines help parents screen
■
out television shows that are unsuitable for their
children to view.
Movie ratings are used for original movies rated
■
by the Motion Picture Association of America
(MPAA) that are aired on cable TV and not edited
for television. Options can also be set to block
MPAA-rated movies.
