How to Set up Restrictions Using the TV Parental Guidelines
First, set up a personal identification number (PIN) and enable the V-Chip. (See previous section.) Parental restrictions can
be set up using either of two methods: The TV guidelines or the MPAA rating.
1.
Press the
MENU
button to display the menu.
Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select “Setup”, then press the
ENTER
button.
2.
Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select “V-Chip”, then press the
ENTER
button. The message “Enter PIN” will appear. Enter your 4 digit PIN number.
3.
The “V-Chip” screen will appear. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select “TV
Parental Guidelines”, then press the
ENTER
button.
4.
The “TV Parental Guidelines” screen will appear.
Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select one of the six aged based categories:
TV-Y
: Young children
TV-Y7
: Children 7 and over
TV-G
: General audience
•
•
•
TV-PG
: Parental guidance
TV-14
: Viewers 14 and over
TV-MA
: Mature audience
•
•
•
5.
At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected.
Press the
ENTER
button. Depending on your existing setup, the “ ”
symbol will be selected. (Blank = Unblocked, = Blocked)
While “ ” is selected, press the
ENTER
button to block or unblock the
category. To select a different TV-Rating, press the ▲ or ▼ button and then
repeat the process.
Allow all: Press to unlock all TV ratings.
Block all: Press to lock all TV ratings.
The TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA have additional
options. See the next step to change any of the following sub-ratings:
ALL / FV / V / S / L / D
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.)
6.
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) and press the ► 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 ▲ or ▼ button and then repeat the process.
ALL
: Lock all TV ratings.
FV
: Fantasy violence
V
: Violence
•
•
•
S

•

•
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 will automatically be blocked.
7.
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: 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.)
