How to Set up Restrictions Using the ‘TV Parental Guidelines’
First, set up a personal identification number(PIN), and enable the V-Chip.
(See previous section.)
Parental restrictions can be set up using either of two methods:
The TV guidelines or the MPAA rating.
6 Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select TV Parental Guidelines, then press the ENTER button.
7 Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select one of the six aged based categories:
TV-Y: Young children.
TV-Y7: Children 7 and
over.
TV-G: General audience.
TV-PG: Parental guidance.
TV-14: Viewers 14 and
over.
TV-MA: Mature audience.
8 Press the ► button. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select B or U. (U: Unblocked, B: Blocked)
Press the MENU button to save. To select a different TV-Rating, press the ▲ or ▼ button and
then repeat the process.
➢
The TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, 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: Sexually suggestive dialog.
L: Adult language.
S: Sexual situation.
V: Violence.
➢
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.)
9 How to set the FV, V, S, L, and D sub-ratings. First, select one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA
(See Step 7), and press the ► button. The B will be displayed for each sub-rating. While B is selected, press the ► button to go to
a sub rating. Press the ▲ or ▼ to block the sub rating. Press the MENU button to save. To select a different TV-Rating, press the
▲ or ▼ button and then repeat the process.
➢
The V-chip will automatically block certain categories that are “more restrictive”.
For example, if you block L sub-rating in TV-PG, then the L sub-ratings in TV-14 and TV-MA will automatically be blocked.
➢
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.
How to Set up Restrictions Using the MPAA Ratings: G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17, X, NR
The MPAA rating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system, and its main application is for
movies. 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).
10 Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select MPAA Rating, then press the ENTER button.
11 Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select an appropriate restriction. Press the ► button, then press
the ▲ or ▼ button to select B or U (U: Unblocked, B: Blocked).
Press the MENU button to save.
G: General audience(no restriction).
PG: Parental guidance suggested.
PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned.
R: Restricted. Children under 17 should be accompanied by an adult.
NC-17: No children under age 17.
X: Adults only.
NR: Not rated.
➢
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.
