V-CHIP Operation

This procedure allows parents to block programs that contains TV Parental Guide Ratings 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 rated TV-Y7 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
but view 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 --- cannot be changed within the selected rating.
Refer to the rating and content label guides on the following pages.

TV Parental Guidelines may have one or more letters added
to the basic rating to let parent know that a program contains
higher levels of potentially offensive material.
Note that the content Label should be considered with
respect to its associated rating.
For example, a “V”label is likely to designate considerably
more intense violence when associated with a TV-MA rated
program than when associated with a TV-PG rated program.

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. Likewise, passing(unblocking) the TV-MA as passes
TV-14 rated programs.

Content Labels

Also note that you have the option of pass or block programs based on their content

label (D,L,S,V,FV) without necessarily blocking all programs that carry a special rating.
For example, you may pass some TV-PG programs, but not those that also carry a “V”
(moderate violence) content label.In this case, the V-CHIP will automatically block TV-14
and TV-MA rated programs labeled “V”.
