• TV (FCC) ratings : The particular rating that you have selected will be locked (and indicated as
a red “L” on a blue background). Also, all of the age-based ratings will be locked within the
particular group (i.e., “group 1” or “group 2”). Suppose that the TV-G rating and all of its
contents (V, S, L, and D) are locked. In that case, more restrictive ratings (TV-PG, TV-14, and
TV-MA) and all of their contents (V, S, L, and D) are automatically locked as well.
•MPAA ratings : The particular rating that you have selected will be locked. In addition, more
restrictive ratings will be locked as well.
• Neither TV (FCC) ratings nor MPAA ratings apply to news programs.
