While the “U” or ”B” is blinking, press the UP or DOWN button to block or unblock the category.

Press the RIGHT button to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected, and no letters will blink.

To select a different TV-Rating, press the UP or DOWN button 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: Sexually Sugessive Dialog

L:Adult 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.)

How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.

7 First, select one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 or TV-MA (See Step 4, on previous page).

Next, while the TV-Rating is selected, repeatedly press the RIGHT button. This will cycle through the available sub-ratings (FV,L, S, D or V).

A blinking letter (“U” or “B”) will be displayed for each sub-rating. While the “U” or “B” is blinking, press the UP or DOWN button to change the sub-rating.

Press the RIGHT button to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected and no letters will select. To select a different TV-Rating, press the UP or DOWN button and then repeat the process.

Note: 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.

Press the MENU button to clear all the screens. (Or proceed to the next section, and set up

8 additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes).

Note

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 TV-Y and TV-Y7 categories are colored blue.

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.)
