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.
