V-GUIDE OPERATION
Use this feature to supervise television viewing for young children. This television can be setup
to automatically block programs with content you deem as inappropriate for your children to
view, including: suggestive dialog, adult language, sexual situations, violence, and fantasy
violence.
The ability of the television to block the reception of specific programming content
depends upon several conditions: 1) The program must be rated, 2) Networks must broad-
cast the rating code data, 3) Cable companies must transmit the rating code signal, and
4) The TV must be properly setup to decode the signal.
The TV guidelines rating icon will generally appear at the upper left hand corner of your
TV screen.
