3.The “V-Chip” screen will appear. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select “TV Parental Guidelines”, then press the ENTER button.

4.The “TV Parental Guidelines” screen will appear.

Press the ▲ or ▼ button 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

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

Press the ENTER button. Depending on your existing setup, the “ ” symbol will be selected. (Blank = Unblocked, = Blocked) While “ ” is selected, press the ENTER button to block or unblock the category.

To select a different TV-Rating, press the ▲ or ▼ button 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) and press the ► button. The “ ” symbol will be displayed for each sub-rating.

While “ ” is selected, press the ENTER button to go to a sub rating.

Press ENTER to block the sub rating. To select a different TV-Rating, press the ▲ or ▼ button and then repeat the process.

ALL: Lock all TV ratings.

FV: Fantasy violence

V: Violence

S: Sexual situation

L: Adult Language

D: Sexually Suggestive Dialog

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 EXIT 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.)
