How do I operate the V-chip?
CONTENT LABELS
TV Parental Guidelines may have one or more letters added to the basic rating to let
parents know when a show contains higher levels of potentially, offensive material.
Note that the content label should be considered in light of its associated rating.
For example, a "V" is likely to designate considerably more intense violence when
associated with a TV-MA rated program than when it is associated with a TV-PG rated
program.
V Violence D Suggestive dialogue
S Sexual situations FV Fantasy violence
L Coarse or crude indecent language
NOTE
You do not need to block each TV parental guide rating individually.
The TV-Y and TV-Y7 ratings are handled as a group, and the TV-G, TV-PG, TV-
14, and TV-MA Ratings are handled as a group.
For example, if you choose a program with a TV-14 rating, the V-chip will
automatically also block TV-MA rated programs.
In the same manner, passing (unblocking) the TV-MA rating would automatically
also pass TV-14 rated programs.
Also note that you have the option of passing or blocking programs based on their
content label (D,L,S,V,FV) without necessarily blocking all programs that carry a
specific rating.
For example, you may pass some TV-PG programs, but not those which also
carry a "V"(moderate violence) content label.
In this case, the V-chip would automatically block TV-14 and TV-MA rated
programs which carry the "V".
