Philips CDV19BPH99 - Manual (Page 24)

V-Chip enables parents to prevent their children from watching
inappropriate material on TV. The TV/DVD’s V-Chip reads the
ratings for programming (except for news and sports programs,
unedited movies on premium cable channels, and Emergency
Broadcast System signals), then denies access to TV programming
if the program's rating meets the limitations you select.
If the programming is blocked, "PROTECTED PROGRAM by ..."
appears on the screen when you try to watch a TV program. You
must select a different TV channel or program.
Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture Association of
America (MPAA) or according to the Television Parental
Guidelines. In order to block any inappropriate programming, set
your limits in both places (MPAA RATING and TV RATING). To
set viewing limits according to the TV Parental Guideline ratings,
follow the steps below. To set viewing limits according to the
MPAA ratings, follow the steps on page 26.
Remember, setting V-Chip limits has no effect on DVD playback.
To limit viewing of DVDs, use Parental Lock. Details are on pages
43-44.
