Parental Controls and V-Chip "llle l)arentat ControL_ menu allows you to program your TV so that children cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the lkont panel controls. "llle first three choices in tile Parental ControL_ menu involve soflware inside your TV (refl'rred to as V-Chip) which allows you to block TV programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other conl*,nt you may believe children should not view. In other words, it lets you program your TV so it won't display certain programs. Once you block programs, you or other adults can unblock programs by enl_.ring a password. By deftult, the software inside your TV is turned "off," so if you don't want to use this t>ature, you can just ignore it. How V-Chip Works When turned "on," the V-Chip sol_vvare reads a code lhat most broadcaste_ send with programs. That code tells the software tile program's age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked tile rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you ,,*,'illreceive tile message, "This channel is not approved tbr viewing," when you tune to that particular channel. Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so progranls 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 1,'ated," and programs that are considered 'unrated" because no code has been sent by the broadcasl_,r, The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are listed in the tk)llowing table. 38
