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 wilt automatically block certain categories that are "more
restrictive". For example, if you block "TV-Y" category, then TV-Y7 will
automatically be blocked. Similarty, if you block the TV-G category, then all the
categories in the 'young adult" group wilt be blocked (TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, and
TV-MA). The sub-ratings (D, L S, V) work together similarly.
(See next section.)
How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.
First, select one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA
(See Step 4, on previous page), and press the I_ button. The "_"symbol will be
displayed for each sub-rating.
While "_" is selected, press the ENTER button to go to a sub rating.
Press ENTER to block the sub rating. To select a different TV-Rating, press the
A or _' buttons 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 wilt automatically be blocked.
Press the EXIT button to clear all the screens. (Or proceed to the next section,
and set up additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes.)
> 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: tf 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.)
