. The “V-Chip” screen will appear. Press the ▲ or ▼ buttons to select “TV Parental
Guidelines”, then press the E nt Er button.
. The “TV Parental Guidelines” screen will appear.
Press the ▲ or ▼ buttons to select one of the six aged based categories:
• 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
. At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected.
Press the E nt Er button. Depending on your existing setup, the “ ” symbol will
be selected. (Blank = Unblocked, = Blocked)
While “ ” is selected, press the E nt Er button to block or unblock the category.
To select a different TV-Rating, press the ▲ or ▼ buttons and then repeat the process.
Allow all: Press to unlock all TV ratings. / Block all: Press to lock all TV ratings.
The TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA have additional options.
See the next step to 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.
First, select one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA
(See Step 4, on previous page), and press the ► button. The “ ”symbol will be
displayed for each sub-rating.
While “ ” is selected, press the E nt Er button to go to a sub rating.
Press E nt Er to 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.
. Press the E xIt 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.)
