Press the UP/DOWN▲▼ buttons to select “V-Chip”. Press the LEFT/RIGHT œ√ buttons.

The “Enter pin” screen will appear. Enter your 4-digit PIN number.

3

The “V-chip mode” screen will appear. Press the UP/DOWN▲▼ buttons to select “TV Guidelines”.

4

Press the LEFT/RIGHT œ√ buttons. The “TV guide- lines” screen will appear. Press the UP/DOWN▲▼ buttons to select one of the six age-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

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.)

5

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

Press the LEFT/RIGHT œ√ buttons: 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▲▼ buttons to block or unblock the category. Press the LEFT/RIGHT œ√ buttons to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected.

To select a different TV-Rating, press the UP/DOWN▲▼ 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: Dialog

L: L

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.)
