How to Set up Restrictions using the MPAA Ratings:G, PG, PG-
13, R, NC-17, X
The MPAArating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system, andits main application is for movies. (Eventually, movie videocassettes will be encoded withMPAA ratings.) When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically block any pro-grams that are coded with objectionable ratings (either MPAA or TV-Ratings).6
How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.
First, highlight 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 VOL+button. This will cycle through the avail-
able 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 CH▲or CH ▼buttons to change the sub-rating.
Press MENUonce to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected, and no letters will blink. To exit
this screen, press the MENUbutton again. To select a different TV-Rating, press the CH ▲or CH ▼buttons
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.
