an
electronic filtering device built into your

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
N.
"V-Chip" and "Status" will not be
selectable from the menu
if
you
do
not first configure
your secret number.

two
rating systems for viewing content:
"TV
Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.

conjunction with the

shows from their children.

Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)
as
watched
on cable

and not edited for television. The V-CHIP can
also be set to block MPAA-rated
movies.
