At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected.

Press the RIGHT arrow button: Depending on your existing setup, a letter “U” or “B” will be selected. (U= Unblocked, B= Blocked)

While the “U” or ”B” is selected, press the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to block or unblock the category. Press the RIGHT arrow button to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected. To select a different TV-Rating, press the UP/DOWN arrow buttons and then repeat the process.

Note 1: The TV-Y7, 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: 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.)

How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.

First, select one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 or TV-MA (See Step 4, on previous page).

Next, while the TV-Rating is selected, repeatedly press the RIGHT arrow button. This will cycle through the available sub-ratings (FV,L, S, D or V).

A letter “U” or “B” will be displayed for each sub-rating. While the “U” or “B” is selected, press the

DOWN arrow button to change the sub-rating. Press the RIGHT arrow button to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected. To select a different TV-Rating, press the UP/DOWN arrow buttons and then repeat the process.

Note: 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 MENU button to clear all the screens. (Or proceed to the next section, and set up additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes).

How to Set up Restrictions using the MPAA Ratings: G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17, X

The MPAA rating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system, and its main application is for movies. (Eventually, movie videocassettes and DVDs will be encoded 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).
