How to Set up Restrictions using the MPAA Ratings:G, PG, PG-
13, R, NC-17, X
The MPAArating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system,and its main application is for movies. (Eventually, movie videocassettes will be encodedwith MPAA ratings.) When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically block any programs that are coded with objectionable ratings (either MPAA or TV-Ratings).6
How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings:
First, highlight one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 or TV-MA (See Step 4, on previous page).
Next, while the TV-Rating is highlighted (BLUE), repeatedly press the VOL+ button. This will cycle through
the available sub-ratings (FV,L, S, D or V).
A blinking letter (“U” or “B”) will be displayed for each sub-rating. While the “U” or “B” is blinking, press
the CH ▲or CH ▼button to change the sub-rating.
Press MENUonce to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be highlighted (BLUE), and no letters will blink.
To exit this screen, press MENUagain. To select a different TV-Rating, press the CH ▲or CH ▼buttonand
then repeat the process.
Note: 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-MA will automatically be blocked.
