TV content categories. Boxes marked with an “X” indicate supplemental blocking you can apply to each rating level.

The TV rating you select is for the least-restrictive program level allowed. For example, if you select TV-PG, pro- grams rated TV-Y, TV-Y7, and TV-PG can be viewed, but programs rated TV-14 and TV-MA are blocked.

When you select a TV content category to block, all TV programs with the same content category listing are blocked. For example, if you select to block V (Violence) at the TV-14 level, any programs with the V category listing rated TV-PG are also blocked.

V-CHIP EXCEPTIONS

•V-Chip blocking is ineffective for programs viewed on devices connected to component or HDMI inputs. Many of these devices, however, have their own parental-control systems.

•Videotapes, laser discs, and DVDs may not contain V-Chip rating signals. V-Chip cannot block playback of recordings without V-Chip rating signals.

Movie Ratings

Movie ratings are the MPAA ratings used for theater- released and direct-to-video movies. Movie ratings are:

GGeneral Audience. Designed for the entire family to view.

PG

Parental Guidance. Parental Guidance is

 

recommended, may not be suitable for some

 

children.

PG-13

Parental Guidance, 13 and Older. Not

 

recommended for children under the age of 13.

RRestricted. Restricted in theaters to 17 years old and older unless accompanied by an adult.

NC-17 No Children 17 or Under. Restricted in theaters to 18 years old and older.

XAdult. Designed for and restricted in theaters to adult audiences only.

The movie rating you select is for the least-restrictive program level that can be viewed. For example, if you select the PG-13 rating, movies rated G, PG and PG-13 can be watched, but movies rated R, NC-17, and X are blocked.

Programs Not Rated: This refers to programs that carry no rating, such as news, sports, weather, emergency bul- letins, or movies prior to or without MPAA ratings. This does not include programs without V-Chip signals.

IMPORTANT

If you enable blocking with the Programs Not Rated option, you may block news or emergency bulletins carrying the “None” or “NR” Not Rated V-Chip rating. Use care when blocking programming that is not rated.
