How to Set up Restrictions Using “TV Parental Guidelines”
First, set up a personal identification number (PIN), and enable the V-Chip.
(See previous section.) Parental restrictions can be set up using either of two
methods: The TV guidelines or the MPAA rating.
1 Press the MENU button to display the menu.
Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select Setup, then press the ENTER button.
2 Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select V-Chip, then press the ENTER button.
The message Enter PIN will appear. Enter your 4 digit PIN number.
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: All children. The themes and elements in this program are specifically designed
for a very young audience, including children from ages two to six.
TV-Y7: Directed to older children. The themes and elements in this program may
include mild physical or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age of
seven.
TV-G: General audience. It contains little or no violence, no strong language, and little
or no sexual dialog or situations.
TV-PG: Parental guidance suggested. This program may contain infrequent coarse
language, limited violence, some suggestive sexual dialog and situations.
TV-14: Parents strongly cautioned. This program may contain sophisticated themes,
sexual content, strong language and more intense violence.
TV-MA: Mature audiences only. This program may contain mature themes, profane
language, graphic violence and explicit sexual content.
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.
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 subratings (D, L, S, V) work together similarly.
