FV: Fantasy violence

Note 2: The V-Chip will automatically block certain categories that are "more restrictive".
For example, if you block "TV-Y" category, then TV-Y7 will automatically be blocked.
Similarly, if you block the TV-G category, then all the categories in the "young adult" group
will be blocked (TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA). The sub-ratings (D, L, S, V) work together
similarly. (See next section.)
How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.
First, select one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 or TV-MA (See Step 4, on previous
page).
Next, while the TV-Rating is selected, repeatedly press the ENTER button.
This will cycle through the available sub-ratings (FV, L, S, D or V).
A symbol "_" will be displayed for each sub-rating.
While "_" is selected, press the •, •, _1, or • button to change the sub-rating.
To select a different TV-Rating, press the • or • button and then repeat the process.
Note: The V-chip will automatically block certain categories that are "More restrictive".
For example, if you block "L" sub-rating in TV-PG, then the "L" sub-ratings in TV-14 and TV-
MA will automatically be blocked.
Pressthe MENU button to clear all the screens. (Or proceed to the next section, and set up
additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes).
Note
• These categories consist of two separate groups: TV-Yand TV-Y7 (young children through age
7), and TV-G through TV-MA (everybody else).
The restrictions for these two groups work independently: If a household includes very young
children as well as young adults, the TV guidelines must be set up separately for each age
group. (See next step.)
