TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES

Example 1:

When TV-Y7 in the age-based rating is set to “BLOCK”, this will automatically block the higher ratings: TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA. In addition, D, L, S, V and FV in CONTENT are automatically blocked unless you manually set “BLOCK CONTENT”.

Example 2:

When no item in the age-based rating is blocked, D in the content-based rating will be automatically blocked.

Note:

Age-based ratings can be modified by the content-based ratings, but only in the combina- tions indicated by an X in the table above.

Choosing a lower age-based rating blocks the higher age-based ratings regardless of content rating settings.

If you set “TV-Y” and “TV-Y7” to “BLOCK”, “CONTENT” will display all items.
