Press the CH ▼ button six times to highlight the “V-chip” menu.

Press the VOL+ button.

The “Enter pin” screen will appear. Enter your 4- digit PIN number.

The “V-chip mode” screen will appear. Press the CH ▼ button, and highlight the field for “TV Guidelines.”

Press the VOL+ button. The “TV guidelines” screen will appear. Press the the CH ▲, CH ▼ buttons to high- light one of the six age-based cate- gories:

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.)

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

Press the VOL + button: Depending on your existing setup, a letter “U” or “B” will start blinking. (U= Unblocked, B= Blocked)

While the “U” or ”B” is blinking, press the CH ▲ or CH ▼ buttons to block or unblock the category.

Press the Menu button once to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be highlighted, and no letters will blink. To exit this screen, press the Menu again. To select a different TV-Rating, press the CH ▲ or CH ▼ 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: Dialog

L: L

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 cate- gories 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.)
