Blocking Programs By Ratings - Toshiba 14VL43U Owner's Manual

Blocking programs by ratings

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) uses a rating
system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters
employ a similar rating system to qualify the content of television
programs.
The TV and MPAA ratings work with the V-Chip feature to allow you
to block access to programs that exceed the rating limits you set.
