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.)

English-65


FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected.


Depending on your existing setup, the letter “U” or “B” will be highlighted (changed to yellow).

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.)

How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.
