Input Jacks
Description:
The jacks on the back of your TV labeled COMPONENT-IN can
be used to connect a component with Component Output jacks (like a DVD
player). Component video connections provide a higher quality picture
because the video signal is divided into three parts instead of being compressed
into one.
Requirements:
A component with Component Output jacks, and three video
grade cables that you'll use to connect the component to your TV.
PIP (Picture-In-Picture)
Description:
PIP lets you watch two channels at one time -- one channel
the main screen and the other in a smaller window.

How V-Chip Works
When the V-Chip software is activated (or turned on), it reads a code that most
broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the software the program's
age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult
Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that
the program contains, a message will appear and the channel won't be
available for viewing.
Broadcasters aren't required to provide content themes, so programs that aren't
tagged with a content themes can only be blocked if you block their age-based
rating.
The TV age-based ratings and content themes and MPAA ratings are
