Notes:
•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 (TVG, TV-PG, TV-
14 and TV-MA).
The sub-ratings (D, L, S, V) work together
similarly. (See “Ratings definitions on page
18.)
•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.
