( indicates the item is blocked)
2. The TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA settings have additional
options for blocking content. The TV content control menu will
show the appropriate items for your current TV ratings setting. Use
the following method to alter the content settings:
Menu > Settings > TV Rating System > TV Content Ctrl. >
set content
( indicates the item is blocked)
The V-chip will automatically block categories that are rated as “more restricted.” For example, if you block the TV-G,
then all the categories in the “young adult” group will automatically be blocked (TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA). The
content control (FV, V, S, L, D) and the Canadian Rating Systems work similarly.
