Using the ProfilesSetting the TV RatingThe Set TV Rating menu enables you to program your TV so children cannot see certain programs or channels.The last three choices in the TV Setup menu involve software inside your TV (often called V-Chip) which allowsyou to "block" TV programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children shouldnot view. In other words, it lets you program your TV so it will not display certain programs. Once you blockprograms, you or other adults are not limited to only parent-approved programs; you can "unblock" programs byentering the system password.The V-Chip software inside your TV is initially turned "off," so if you choose not to implement it, you can justignore it.When turned "on," the V-chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tellsthe V-Chip software the program's age-based rating (TV-MA, '1W"14, etc.) and content themes (Violence (V), AdultLanguage (L), etc.). If you have blocked the rating or content themes that the program contains, you will receivethe message, "Program exceeds the "IV rating limit you set," when yon turn to that particular channel.
