Press the VOL+ button: Depending on your existing setup, a letter “U” or “B” will be highlighted.
(U= Unblocked, B= Blocked)
While the “U” or ”B” is highlighted, press the CH or CH buttons to block or unblock the category.
Press the MENU button once to save the TV guidelines. To menu this screen, press the MENU again.
To select a different TV-Rating, press the CH or CH buttons and then repeat the process.
Note 1: The TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA have additional options. See the next step to change any of the
following sub-ratings:
FV: Fantasy violence
D: Sexual suggestive dialog
L: Adult language
S: Sexual situation
V: Violence
Note 2: 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 (TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA). The sub-ratings (D, L, S, V)
work together similarly. (See next section.)
Note: These categories consist of
two separate groups: TV-Y and TV-Y7
(young children through age 7), and
TV-G through TV-MA (everybody
else).
The restrictions for these two groups
work independently: If a household
includes very young children as well
as young adults, the TV guidelines
must be set up separately for each age
group. (See next step.)
