TV-PARENTAL GUIDELINES (Example)
Example 1.1 : Age Based setting
Go through all select ratings and select unblocked for “AGE”.
This will automatically unblock everything.
Example 1.2 : Age Based setting
For “TV-G” select “BLOCK” for “AGE”. This will automatically block the
higher age ratings “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”.
Furthermore, the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV” are automatically
blocked as well for “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”.
Example 2.1 : Content Based setting
For “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” select unblocked for each content
ratings (“D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV”) by leaving “AGE” unblocked for “TV-PG”,
“TV-14” and “TV-MA”. If you choose to unblock for each one in content
base.
Example 2.2 : Content Based setting
Then for “TV-PG” and select “BLOCK” for only “V” (Violence). This will
automatically block the higher ratings “TV-14-V” and “TV-MA-V” (“TV-
14” and “TV-MA” for Violence content only).
Please note that with these settings blocking does NOT occur. If a
program is rated only “TV-MA”; it must be rated “TV-MA-V” to be blocked.
Example 3 : Reset an Age Based setting
For “TV-14” and select again “BLOCK” for “AGE”.
This will again automatically block the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”,
“FV” for “TV-MA” as well as “TV-14”.
Please note that the lower age rating “TV-PG” did not change from its
previous settings.
Note:
• Content ratings can be modified but only in the combinations indicated by an
V
in the table on page
16.
• Changing a lower age rating’s content setting to “BLOCK” automatically changes the same higher age
rating’s content setting to “BLOCK” regardless of their previous settings.
• Changing a lower rating’s “AGE” setting to “BLOCK” automatically changes all higher ratings to “BLOCK”
regardless of their previous settings.
• Any rating’s “AGE” set to unblocked must have its content settings individually set.
