V-GUIDE (PARENTAL CONTROL)

NOTE: THIS FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S 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 LCD Projection TV will
automatically display or block the program, depending
upon choices you make when setting up the V-Guide
system. Content ratings are represented by the initials:
FV (fantasy violence), L (adult language), S (sexual
situations), V (violence), and D (suggestive dialog). A
rating icon will generally appear at the beginning of a
program, see chart on page 25
This LCD Projection TV can be set to block programs
with content you deem as inappropriate for your children
to view.

MPAA (Movie) RATING
IMPORTANT FACT: The LCD Projection TV will
automatically block ratings above or unblock ratings
below a selection. For example, if you block TV rating
TV-PG, ratings TV-14 and TV-MA will be blocked
automatically; or if you block Movie rating PG-13,
ratings R, NC17, and X will be blocked automatically.
Blocking TVY7 does not block higher ratings.
■
You can block portions of a TV rating by choosing one or
more of the Content ratings (D, L, S, and V). By blocking
just the L and S content ratings of TV-14, for example, TV-
14 rated programs with a D and/or V content rating could
still be viewed.
■
V-Guide limits on programming received via the Analog
antenna input, Digital antenna input, VIDEO1 Video input,
and any 480i signals received through the VIDEO2 or
VIDEO3 jacks are controlled by this LCD Projection TV.
■
V-Guide limits on digital programming received through the
Component jacks (VIDEO2 or VIDEO3) are controlled by
the external devices connected to those jacks (such as a
DVD Player or Satellite Receiver). Refer to your external
device's owner's manual for instructions on setting V-
Guide limits.

Networks and local stations may or may not include the
content ratings portion of the TV Parental Guidelines.
