Parent Control (V-CHIP Operation Continued)

Example 2.1 : Content- Based setting

For “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” select unblocked (“– – – –”) for each content rating but leave "AGE" blocked for “TV-PG” and “TV-14” only.

Example 2.2 : Content-Based setting

For “TV-PG”, select "BLOCK" for only “V” (Violence).

This will automatically block the higher ratings “TV-14-V ” and “TV-MA-V(“TV-14” and “TV-MA” for Violence content only). Please note that with these settings, blocking does NOT occur if a program is rated only “TV-MA”; it must be rated “TV-MA-V ” to be blocked.

Example 3 : Reset an Age-Based setting

For “TV-14”, select “BLOCK” for "AGE".

This will again automatically block the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV” for “TV-MA” in addition to “TV-14”.

Please note that the lower age rating “TV-PG” did not change from its previous settings.

MENU : RETURN

Content ratings can be modified but only in the combinations indicated by “￿” in the table on page 15.

Changing a lower age-rating’s content setting to "BLOCK" automatically changes the same higher age-rating’s content setting to “BLOCK” regardless of their previous settings.

Changing a lower rating's “AGE” setting to “BLOCK” automatically changes all higher ratings to “BLOCK” regardless of their previous settings.

Any rating's "AGE" set to unblocked (“– – – –”) must have its content settings individually set.

[3] ADDITIONAL MODE

Besides the above “MPAA RATINGS” and “TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES,” new ratings systems data can be downloaded when they become available. (See page 20.)
