Question:
What is a V-Chip?
Answer:
The V-Chip is a device built into most television sets that allows parents to block out programs they don't want their children to see. The V-Chip electronically reads television program ratings and allows parents to block programs they believe are unsuitable for their children. They’ve been built into most televisions manufactured since 2000.
