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 Parental
Guidelines must be set up separately
for each age group. (See next step.)

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.)
