Guidelines rating codes. When these codes are detected, the TV will automatically display or block

ABOUT MPAA AND TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES
MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines are rating systems that provide advance
cautionary information to parents about the content of movie and television
programming.
The V-Guide system contain both age-based and content-based settings. This
gives parents discretionary ways of choosing appropriate material for their
children to view.
Content ratings are represented by the initials D (Suggestive Dialog), L (Adult
Language), S (Sexual Situations), V (Violence), and FV (Fantasy Violence).
When programming contains any or all of these conditions, these letters become
part of the icon that is displayed on the TV screen.
A rating icon will generally appear in the upper left hand corner of
the TV screen for about fifteen seconds at the beginning of a program
and should be repeated at the beginning of the second hour of a long
program. It may also appear when returning from commercials.
There may be other instances when these icons will be displayed
as well. Parents are encouraged to become familiar with these icons and their
meanings.
