Important Notes About Parental Locks
Explanation of the MPAA and TV (FCC) Rating Systems:
TV (FCC) Age-Based Ratings
TV-Y
All children. The themes and elements in this
program are specifically designed for a very young
audience, including children from ages two to six.
TV-Y7
Directed to older children. The themes and
elements in this program may include mild physical
or comedic violence, or may frighten children under
the age of seven.
TV-G
General audience. It contains little or no
violence, no strong language, and little or no sexual
dialog or situations.
TV-PG
Parental guidance suggested. This program
may contain infrequent coarse language, limited
violence, some suggestive sexual dialog, and
situations.
TV-14
Parents strongly cautioned. This program may
contain sophisticated themes, sexual content, strong
language, and more intense violence.
TV-MA
Mature audiences only. This program may
contain mature themes, profane language, graphic

* TV (FCC) ratings: The particular rating that you have selected will be locked (and indicated as a red “L” on
a blue background). Additionally, all age-based ratings within a particular group will also be locked. For
example, if the TV-G rating and all of its contents (V, S, L, and D) are locked, more restrictive ratings (TV-PG,
TV-14, and TV-MA) and all of their contents (V, S, L, and D) will automatically be locked as well.
* MPAA ratings: The particular rating that you have selected will be locked. In addition, more restrictive ratings
will be locked as well.
* Neither TV (FCC) ratings nor MPAA ratings apply to news programs.
