V-CHIP is an electronic filtering 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
first configure your secret number.
