JVC televisions are equipped with V-chip technology, a feature that allows the user to set a code that blocks access to certain programs, depending on content. If the TV owner doesn't want children watching TV shows over a certain rating, the V-chip can be coded to prevent access to those programs unless a four-digit code is entered. Unlocking the channel lock takes only a minute. If the code is lost or forgotten, the V-chip also can be cleared and reset.
