How V-Chip Works for the USA and Canada The V-Chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the TV software 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 and the TV is locked and you tune to a program whose rating exceeds the rating limit you set, you will receive a message telling you that the program is not approved for viewing. 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 and the TV is locked. With the V-Chip Unrated menu, you can also block out programs that have been given a rating of "Not Rated, " or "Exempt" and programs that are considered "unrated". The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are in the table on the next page.

Highlight the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch. In the example discussed above, you would highlight TV-PG, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is TV-G. Press the OK button to toggle between Viewable and Blocked. The status for the rating listed to the right and all higher ratings automatically change to Blocked (and B). Select Lock TV from the Parental Controls menu. Enter a password and re-enter password a second time to confirm the password. 3. 4.
