V-Chip
V-CHIP is an electronic fi ltering device built into your 
TV. This tool gives parents a great degree of control 
over broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows 
parents to select programs judged suitable for child 
viewing while blocking ones judged not suitable. It 
does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP 
feature in your TV. "V-Chip" and "Status" will not be 
selectable from the menu if you do not fi rst confi gure 
your secret number.
•The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV 
Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.
•The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the 
V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate television 
shows from their children.
•Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the 
Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as watched 
on cable TV and not edited for television. The V-CHIP can 
also be set to block MPAA-rated movies.
•The setting automatically enters "Block" for any ratings 
below your selection.
•If Status is not set to "On", the confi guration settings will 
not work.

Canadian Rating Systems (Canadian English ratings 
and Canadian French ratings)
•The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the 
Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications 
Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television 
programming.
•While violence is the most important content element to 
be rated, the structure developed takes into consideration 
other program content like language, nudity, sexuality and 
mature themes.
•When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you 
can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the 
Canadian French ratings.

Appropriate viewing for the entire family, contains very little 
violence, physical, verbal or emotional.
PG: Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience, but 
may not be suitable for younger children (under the age of 8) 
because it could contain controversial themes or issues.
14+: Over 14 years: Could contain themes where violence 
is one of the dominant elements of the storyline, but it 
must be integral to the development of plot or character. 
Language usage could be profane and nudity present 
within the context of the theme.
18+: Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and 
might contain depictions of violence, which while related to 
the development of plot, character or themes, are intended 
for adult viewing. Could contain graphic language and
