Press the RIGHT button: Depending on your existing setup, a letter “U” or “B” will start blinking.
(U= Unblocked, B= Blocked)
While the “U” or ”B” is blinking, press the UP/DOWN buttons to block or unblock the category.
Press the MENU button once to save the TV guidelines. ATV-Rating will be highlighted, and no letters
will blink. To exit this screen, press the MENU again. To select a different TV-Rating, press the

Note 1: The TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA have additional options.
See the next step to change any of the following sub-ratings:
FV: Fantasy Violence
D: Sexual suggestive Dialog
L: Adult Language
S: Sexual situation
V: Violence
Note 2: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.)
Note: 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.
