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 and DVDs will be encod-
ed with MPAA ratings.) When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically block any pro-
grams that are coded with objectionable ratings (either MPAA or TV-Ratings).

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 press the LEFT/RIGHT
œœ√√
buttons. 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, press the
UP/DOWN▲▼ buttons to change the sub-rating.
Press the LEFT/RIGHT
œœ√√
buttons to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected.
To select a different TV-Rating, press the UP/DOWN▲▼ buttons and then repeat the process.
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 automati-
cally be blocked.
