■ You can block portions of a TV rating by choosing one or
more of the Content ratings (D, L, S, & V). By blocking
just the L & S content ratings of TV-14, for example, TV-
14 rated programs with a D and/or V content rating could
still be viewed.
■ V-Guide limits on programming received via the Analog
antenna input, Digital antenna input, Video 1 input, and
any 480i signals received through the Component jacks
can be controlled by this TV.
■ V-Guide limits on digital programming received through
the Component jacks are controlled by the external
device connected to those jacks (such as a DVD Player or
Digital Satellite Receiver). Refer to your external device’s
owner’s manual for instructions on setting V-Guide limits.
■ Networks and local stations may or may not include the
content portion of the TV Parental Guidelines.

ratings below a selection. For example, if you block TV
rating TV-PG, ratings TV-14 and TV-MA will be blocked
automatically; or if you block Movie rating PG-13, ratings
R, NC17, and X will be blocked automatically. Blocking
TVY7 does not block higher ratings.
