V-GUIDE (PARENTAL CONTROL)
NOTE: THIS FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAS FCC V-CHIP
REGULATIONS. THEREFORE, IT MAY NOT FUNCTION WITH BROADCASTS THAT ORIGINATE IN
OTHER COUNTRIES.
This Sanyo television is equipped with an electronic V-Chip to interpret MPAA (Motion Picture Association of
America) and TV Parental Guidelines rating codes. When these codes are detected, the TV will automatically
display or block the program, depending upon choices you make when setting up the V-Guide system.
The V-Guide system contain both age-based and content-based settings. This gives parents discretionary
ways of choosing appropriate material for their children to view.
Content ratings are represented by the initials D (Suggestive Dialog), L (Adult Language), S (Sexual Situa-
tions), V (Violence), and FV (Fantasy Violence). When programming contains any or all of these conditions,
these letters become part of the icon that is displayed on the TV screen.
A rating icon will generally appear in the upper left hand corner of the TV screen (see page 18.)
V-GUIDE OPERATION

block programs with content you deem as inappropriate for your children to view.
The ability of the television to block the reception of specific programming content depends upon several

panies must transmit the rating code signal, and 4) The TV must be properly setup to decode the signal.
