How to Set up Restrictions using the MPAA Ratings: G, PG, PG-13,
R, NC-17, X
The MPAA rating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system, and its
main application is for movies. (Eventually, movie videocassettes will be encoded with MPAA rat-
ings.) 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).

How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.
First, highlight one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 or TV-MA (See Step 4, on previous page).
Next, while the TV-Rating is highlighted, repeatedly move the joystick to the right. This will cycle through the avail-
able sub-ratings (FV,L, S, D or V).
A blinking letter (“U” or “B”) will be displayed for each sub-rating. While the “U” or “B” is blinking, move the joy-
stick up or down to change the sub-rating.
Move the joystick to the right to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be highlighted, and no letters will blink.
To select a different TV-Rating, move the joystick up or down and then repeat the process.
Note: 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.
