Guidelines”, then press the ENTERbutton.
4.The “TV Parental Guidelines” screen will appear.
Press the or buttons to select one of the six aged based categories:
5.At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected.
Press the ENTERbutton. Depending on your existing setup, the “    ” symbol will

change any of the following sub-ratings: 
FV: Fantasy violence / D: Sexually Suggestive Dialog / L: Adult Language / 
S: Sexual situation / V: Violence
The V-Chip will automatically block certain categories that are “more restrictive”. For example, 
if you block “TV-Y” category, then TV-Y7 will automatically be blocked. Similarly, if you block the 
TV-G category, then all the categories in the “young adult” group will be blocked  
(TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, and TV-MA). The sub-ratings (D, L, S, V) work together similarly. 
(See next section.)
6.How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.

button. The “     ”symbol will be

ENTERbutton to go to a sub rating. 
Press ENTERto block the sub rating. To select a different TV-Rating, 
press the or buttons and then repeat the process. 
The V-chip will automatically block certain categories that are “More restrictive”. 
For example, if you block “L” sub-rating in TV-PG, then the “L” sub-ratings in TV-14 and 
TV-MA will automatically be blocked.
7.Press the MENU button to clear all the screens. (Or proceed to the next section, 
and set up additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes.)
These categories consist of two separate groups: TV-Y and TV-Y7 
(young children through age 7), and TV-G through TV-MA (everybody else). 
The restrictions for these two groups work independently: If a household includes very 
young children as well as young adults, the TV guidelines must be set up separately for 
each age group. (See next step.)
• TV-Y:   Young children
• TV-Y7: Children 7 and over• TV-G:   General audience
• TV-PG: Parental guidance
• TV-14: Viewers 14 and over
• TV-MA: Mature audience
