Press the VOL+ button: Depending on your existing setup, a letter “U” or “B” will start blinking.
(U= Unblocked, B= Blocked)
While the “U” or ”B” is blinking, press the CH▲ or CH▼ buttons to block or unblock the category.
Press the MENU button once to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be highlighted, and no letters will blink.
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-MAhave 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.)
