Setup Restrictions Using the “TV GuideLines”
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.
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 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 (V, S, L, D) work together similarly.
TV-Y : Young Children FV : Fantasy Violence
TV-Y7 : Children 7 and over V : Violence
TV-G : General Audience S : Sexual Situation
TV-PG : Parent Guidance L : Coarse Language
TV-14 : Viewers 14 and over D : Suggestive Dialog
TV-MA : Mature Audience
Setup Restrictions Using the “MPAA Rating”
The MPAA rating system uses the MPAA (Motion
Picture Association of America) system, and its main
application is for movies. (Eventually, movie
videocassettes will be encoded with MPAA ratings.)
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).
The V-Chip will automatically block any category that
is “more restrictive.” For example, if you block the
“PG-13” category, then “R,” “NC-17,” and “X” will
automatically be blocked also.
G : General Guidance
PG : Parental Guidance Suggested
PG-13 : Parents Strongly Cautioned
R : Restricted Under 17 Requires
NC-17 : No Children Under 17 Admitted
X : Adult Only
NR : Not Rated
