              ENFORCEMENT BUREAU ADOPTS DTV V-CHIP CONSENT DECREES

                           TOTALING OVER $3.4 MILLION

   Washington, D.C. -- The Federal Communications Commission's Enforcement
   Bureau has adopted consent decrees with seven electronics manufacturers
   resolving investigations of possible violations of the V-Chip rules (see
   attached). The investigations examined whether the manufacturers had
   complied with the Commission's rule requiring that consumers' television
   receivers be capable of adapting to changes in the content advisory rating
   system. The consent decrees, which reflect the specific factual
   circumstances of each case, include significant voluntary contributions as
   well as compliance measures to avoid future violations. Examples of
   compliance measures include training of employees in FCC rules, fixing
   non-compliant television receivers already on the market, reviewing design
   specifications and testing equipment for compliance with FCC rules, and
   reporting periodically to the Commission to verify compliance.
