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.

1Press the MENU button to display the menu.

Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select Setup, then press the ENTER button.

2Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select V-Chip, then press the ENTER button. The message Enter PIN will appear. Enter your 4 digit PIN number.

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

4The 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.

5At 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.

S: Sexual situation.

D: Sexually suggestive dialog.

V: Violence.

L: Adult language.

 

The V-Chip will automatically block certain categories that are “more restrictive”. For example, if you block TV-Ycategory, 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. (See next section.)
