How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings: First, select one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y7,
TV-PG, TV-14 or TV-MA (See Step 4, on previous page.)
Next, while the TV-Rating is selected, repeatedly move the joystick right.
This will cycle through the available sub-ratings (FV, L, S, D or V). A letter (“U” or “B”) will
be displayed for each sub-rating. While the “U” or “B” is selected, move the joystick down
or up to change the sub-rating.
Note: 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.

Press the Menu button to clear all the screens. (Or proceed to the next section, and set up
additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes).
How to Set up Restrictions Using the MPAA Ratings: G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17, X
The MPAA rating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system, and its
main application is for movies. (Eventually, movie videocassettes will be encoded with MPAA rat-
ings.) When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically block any programs that are coded
with objectionable ratings (either MPAA or TV-Ratings).
