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.)

Press the MENU button to clear all the screens. (Or proceed to the next section, and set up
additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes).
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.)
