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. Si milarly, if you block t he TV-G categor y,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 .)
Note: These categories consist oftwo separate groups: TV-Y and TV-Y7(young children through age 7), andTV-G through TV-MA (everybodyelse). The restrictions for these two groupswork independently: If a householdincludes very young children as wellas young adults, the TV guidelinesmust be set up separately for each agegroup.
