The TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA have additional options. See the
next step to change any of the following sub-ratings.

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.)

TV-PG, then the L sub-ratings in TV-14 and TV-MA will automatically be blocked.
➢
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.

any programs that are coded with objectionable ratings (either MPAA or TV-Ratings).
