TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES (Example)

Example 1.1 : Age Based setting

Clear

V

s (block) from each "AGE" box for all ratings.

This will automatically unblock everything.

Example 1.2 : Age Based setting

For “TV-G” put a

V

in the "AGE" box. This will automatically block the

higher age ratings “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”.

Please note the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V” are automatically blocked

as well.

Example 2.1 : Content Based setting

If you choose to unblock every content-based items (“D”, “L”, “S”, “V”),

clear the

V

(block) from each “AGE” box of “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-

MA”.

Example 2.2 : Content Based setting

Put a

V

in the box corresponding to “TV-PG” (row) and “V (Violence)”

(column). This will automatically block the “V” boxes for “TV-14” and

“TV-MA”. Setting only “TV-PG-V”, “TV-14-V” or “TV-MA-V” will not block

all programs rated “TV-PG”, “TV-14” or “TV-MA”.

Example 3 : Resetting an Age Based setting

For “TV-14”, put a

V

(block) in the “AGE” box.

This will again automatically block the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”

for “TV-MA” as well as “TV-14” (“D” is not available for “TV-MA”).

Please note that the lower age rating “TV-PG” does not change from its

previous settings after this.

Note:

•

Content ratings can be modified but only in the combinations indicated by

V

in the table on page 15.

•

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.

•

For “TV-Y7”, “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA”, if you clear the

V

in the “AGE” box (unblock) you can still

change settings based on content.

•

Clearing a higher rating’s age or content setting will not clear lower settings. Make sure that all undesired

boxes are blocked.
