How V- Chip Works for USA and Canada
V-Chip reads the program's age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes
[(Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes
that the program contains, you will receive the message This channel is blocked. Change
channel or press OK to enter your password and temporarily deactivate the parental controls.
Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content
themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also block out
programs that have been given an Exempt rating, and programs that are considered unrated.
