V-GUIDE OPERATION
Use this feature to supervise television viewing for children. This television can be set 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 broadcast 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 appears at the upper left hand corner of your TV screen.

V-GUIDE INFORMATION
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.
With the introduction of "V-Chip" technology, it is now possible for Sanyo tele-
visions to interpret MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines rating codes. When these
codes are detected, the TV will automatically display or block the program,
depending upon choices you make when setting up the V-Guide system.
ABOUT MPAA AND TV PARENTAL
GUIDELINES
MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines are rating
systems that provide advance cautionary
information to parents about the content of
movie and television programming.
MPAA is a voluntary rating system used by
the movie industry. TV Parental Guidelines
are modeled after the MPAA ratings and were
designed to be simple to use, easy to under-
stand, and easy to find.
TV Parental Guidelines contain both age-based
and content-based information. This gives
parents discretionary ways of choosing
appropriate material for their children to view.
Content ratings are represented by the initials
D (Suggestive Dialog), L (Adult Language),
S (Sexual Situations), V (Violence), and
FV (Fantasy Violence). When programming
contains any or all of these conditions, these
letters become part of the icon that is
displayed on the TV screen.
A rating icon will appear in the upper left-
hand corner of the TV screen for fifteen
seconds at the beginning of a program and
should be repeated at the beginning of the
second hour of a long program. It may also
appear when returning from commercials.
There may be other instances when these icons
will be displayed as well. Parents are encour-
aged to become familiar with these icons and
their meanings.
WHERE CAN I FIND ADVANCE
NOTICE OF PROGRAM RATING
Publishers of programming guides have been
asked to include these ratings along with other
information they publish. You can expect
to find this information in newspapers,
magazines, and on-screen listings and guides.
TYPES OF PROGRAMS TO
RECEIVE RATING
The TV Parental Guidelines will apply to
various types of TV programming, including:
specials, mini-series, and movies. Sports, news,
weather, emergency bulletins, locally originated
programming, public
service announce-
ments, political, and
religious shows do
not currently carry
guidelines.
