Setting Block by Rating
This (V-Chip) is used to block program viewing based on the ratings sent by the broadcasting
station. The default setting is to allow all programs to be viewed. Viewing can be blocked by
the type of program and by the categories chosen to be blocked.
V-Chip rating and categories
Rating guidelines are provided by broadcasting stations. Most television programs and
television movies can be blocked by TV Rating and/or Individual Categories. Movies that
have been shown at the theaters or direct-to-video movies use the Movie Rating System
