Parent Control (V-CHIP Operation Continued)
Example 2.1 : Content- Based setting
For “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” select unblocked (“– – – –”)
for each content rating but leave "AGE" blocked for “TV-PG”
and “TV-14” only.
Example 2.2 : Content-Based setting
For “TV-PG”, 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”, select “BLOCK” for "AGE".
This will again automatically block the content ratings “D”,
“L”, “S”, “V”, “FV” for “TV-MA” in addition to “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 “
” 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.
