TV Parental Guidelines
You can block TV programs depending on their rating. This function allows you to control what
your children are watching.

Parental guidance / TV-14: Viewers 14 and over / TV-MA: Mature audience
ALL: Lock all TV ratings. / FV: Fantasy violence / V: Violence / S: Sexual situation / L:
Adult Language / D: Sexually Suggestive Dialog
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.
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.

America(MPAA) has implemented a rating system that provides parents or guardians with
advance information on which films are appropriate for children.
