No info in CR?
Why is there no info on the V-chip parental control feature from CR? Starting January 1, 2000, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) required all TVs 13″ or larger to have V-chip, so this feature is now widely available and for the most part, well-understood. Additional parental controls now available include channel block-out (unconditionally locking out access to a channel), and front-panel lock-out (disabling the front-panel channel up/down buttons). These all rely on the parents to control children’s access to the remote. Also, children must not learn the remote’s master access code – hide the user manual from them. For more information, see the FCC’s web site: www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/vchip.html www.fcc.
