3The “TV guidelines” screen will appear.
Move the joystick up or down to highlight
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.)
4At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected.
Move the joystick right: Depending on your
existing setup, a letter “U” or “B” will be select-
ed. (U: Unblocked, B: Blocked).
Move the joystick down or up to block or
unblock the category. Move the joystick to the
right. To select a different TV-Rating, move the
joystick down or up and then repeat the process.
Note 1: 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:Language, 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.)
