Note 1: The TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA have additional options. See the next step to change any of the follow-
ing sub-ratings:
FV: Fantasy violence
D: Dialog
L: Offensive 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. (See next step.)
