Setup Restrictions Using the “TV GuideLines”
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.
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 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 (V, S, L, D) work together similarly.
TV-Y : Young Children FV : Fantasy Violence
TV-Y7 : Children 7 and over V : Violence
TV-G : General Audience S : Sexual Situation
TV-PG : Parent Guidance L : Coarse Language
TV-14 : Viewers 14 and over D : Suggestive Dialog
TV-MA : Mature Audience
Setup Restrictions Using the “MPAA Rating”
The MPAA rating system uses the MPAA ( M otion
P icture A ssociation of A merica) system, and its main
application is for movies. (Eventually, movie
videocassettes will be encoded with MPAA ratings.)
When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically
block any programs that are coded with objectionable
ratings (either MPAA or TV-Ratings).
The V-Chip will automatically block any category that
is “more restrictive.” For example, if you block the
“PG-13” category, then “R,” “NC-17,” and “X” will
automatically be blocked also.
G : General Guidance
PG : Parental Guidance Suggested
PG-13 : Parents Strongly Cautioned
R : Restricted Under 17 Requires
NC-17 : No Children Under 17 Admitted
X : Adult Only
NR : Not Rated
