How does the V-Chip help block unwanted content?
Each manufacturer’s V-Chip works a little differently, but provides generally the same protections. Once you’re familiar with the TV Parental Guidelines rating system, activating the V-Chip is simple. Instructions can be found either in your television’s on-screen menu options or its owner’s manual. The V-Chip can block programming by age-based category or content label, and can also block motion pictures on premium channels by using the movie rating system.
