D: Sexual suggestive Dialog
L: Adult Language
S:Sexual situation
V:Violence
Note 2: 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.)
Note: 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.)

with MPAA ratings.) When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically block any 
programs that are coded with objectionable ratings (either MPAA or TV-Ratings).

Using Your TV as a Computer (PC) Display
How to Set up Your PC Software (Windows only)
The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. However, the 
actual screens on your PC will probably look different, depending upon your particular
version of Windows and your particular video card. Even if your actual screens look 
different, the same, basic set-up information will apply in most cases.
(If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)
First, click on “Settings” on the 
Windows start menu.
While “Settings” is highlighted,
move the cursor so that “Control
Panel” is highlighted.
When the control panel screen
appears, click on “Display” and a
display dialog-box will appear.
Navigate to the “settings” tab on
the display dialog-box.
The two key variables that apply
the TV-PC interface are “resolution”
and “colors.” The correct settings
for these two variables are:
* Size (sometimes called 
“resolution”): 1280 x 768 pixels
If a vertical-frequency option exists
on your display settings dialog box,
the correct value is “60” or “60 Hz”.
Otherwise, just click “OK” and exit
the dialog box.
* See “Display Mode” on page 74.
