TV PARENTAL GUIDE RATING
This procedure allows parents to block programs which contain TV Parental guide
ratings that they consider inappropriate. Content labels are designed to indicate
specific contents of TV programs within each TV Parental Guide rating. For example, if
a program is rated TV-Y7 but has strong Fantasy Violence content, the program will be
labeled as TV-Y7-FV. The TV Parental Guide menu allows you to block all -FV labeled
programs while viewing all regular TV-Y7 programs.
NOTE: Each rating has a different set of content labels that you can choose to block or
view. Labels that show

2. Press VOL + BLOCKING in the center column changes to magenta, and

3. Press CH / to select the content label you want to block.

MOTION PICTURE RATING.
RATING REMARKS
N/A (No rating) Not rated or not applicable program movie
has not been rated or ratings do not apply.
G (General audience) All ages admitted
PG (Parental guidance suggested) Some material may not be suitable for
children.
PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned) Some material may be inappropriate for
children under 13.
R (Restricted) Under 17 requires accompanying
parent or adult guardian.
NC-17 (No one 17 and under admitted)
X (Adults only)
NOTE
You do not need to block each MOTION PICTURE rating individually.
For example, if you block movies with an R (restricted) rating, the V-chip will
automatically block NC-17 and X rated movies.
In the same manner, passing (unblocking) the PG-13 rating would automatically
pass PG and G rated movies.
