12 Useful Adjustment Settings Parental Control (setting the V-CHIP level) The V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your system. 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 Plasma Display. This tool functions for both conventional and digital TV channels. • 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. Voluntary movie rating system (MPAA) Rating G Description General audiences. All ages admitted. PG Parental guidance suggested.
