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:

ALL: Lock all TV ratings.

L: Adult language.

FV: Fantasy violence.

S: Sexual situation.

D: Sexually suggestive dialog.

V: Violence.

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.)

6How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.

First, select one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, or

TV-MA (See Step 4), and press the ENTER button. The “ ” symbol will be displayed for each

sub-rating. While “ ” is selected, press the ► button to go to a sub rating.

Press the ENTER to block the sub rating. To select a different TV-Rating, press the ▲ or ▼ button and then repeat the process.

7Press the EXIT button to clear all the screens. (Or proceed to the next section, and set up additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes.)

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.
