4. At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected.
Press the ENTER or √√button. Depending on your existing setup, the “B”
will be selected. (“U” = Unblocked, “B”= Blocked)

The TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MAhave additional options. See the next
step to change any of the following sub-ratings:
FV: Fantasy violence / D: Sexually Suggestive Dialog / L: Adult Language /
S: Sexual situation / V: Violence
➢
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-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, and TV-MA). The sub-
ratings (D, L, S, V) work together similarly. (See next section.)
5. How 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 3), and press the ENTER or √√button. Press ……or ††to
block the sub rating. To select a different TV-Rating, press the MENUbutton
and then repeat the process.
➢
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-MAwill automatically be blocked.
6. Press the EXIT button to clear all the screens. (Or proceed to the next
section, and set up additional restrictions based on the MPAAcodes.)
➢
These categories consist of two separate groups: TV-Yand 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.)
