(U= Unblocked, B= Blocked)
While the “U” or ”B” is red, press the CH or CH button to block or unblock the category.
Press the VOL + button once to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected (BLUE), and no letters will
blink. To exit this screen, press the Menu button again. To select a different TV-Rating, press the CH or CH

Note 1: The TV-Y7, 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: Dialog
L: Adult language
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.)
Note: 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. (See next step.)
