V-CHIP OPERATION

CONTENT LABELS

TV Parental Guidelines may have one or more letters added to the basic rating to let parents know when a show contains higher levels of potentially, offensive material.

Note that the content label should be considered in light of its associated rating.

For example, a "V" is likely to designate considerably more intense violence when associated with a TV-MA rated program than when it is associated with a TV-PG rated program.

Violence

D

NOTE

You do not need to block each TV parental guide rating individually.

The TV-Y and TV-Y7 ratings are handled as a group, and the TV-G, TV-PG, TV- 14, and TV-MA Ratings are handled as a group.

For example, if you choose a program with a TV-14 rating, the V-chip will automatically also block TV-MA rated programs.

In the same manner, passing (unblocking) the TV-MA rating would automatically

also pass TV-14 rated programs.

Also note that you have the option of passing or blocking programs based on their content label (D,L,S,V,FV) without necessarily blocking all programs that carry a specific rating.

For example, you may pass some TV-PG programs, but not those which also carry a "V"(moderate violence) content label.

In this case, the V-chip would automatically block TV-14 and TV-MA rated programs which carry the "V".
