TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES (examples)
Example 1:
When TV-Y7 in the age-based rating is set to BLOCK, this will automatically block the higher ratings: TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14
and TV-MA. In addition, D, L, S, V and FV in CONTENT are automatically blocked unless you manually set BLOCK
CONTENT.
Example 2:
When no item in the age-based rating is blocked, D in the content-based rating will be automatically blocked.
■ Age-based ratings can be modified by the content-based ratings, but only in the combinations indicated by an X in
the table above.
■ Choosing a lower age-based rating blocks the higher age-based ratings regardless of content rating settings.
■ If you set TV-Y and TV-Y7 to BLOCK, CONTENT will display all items.
