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.)

At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected.

Press the ENTER( )button: Depending on your existing setup, the color of the letter “U” or “B” will be highlighted. (U= Unblocked, B= Blocked)

When the color of the “U” or “B” is highlighted, press the ENTER( )button to block or unblock the category. A TV-Rating will be highlighted.

To exit this screen, press the MENU again. To select a different TV-Rating, press the UP/DOWN buttons 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: Sexual suggestive 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.)
