any of the following sub-ratings:
FV: Fantasy violence
D: Sexual suggestive dialog
L: Adult language
S: Sexual situation
V: 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.)
Note: These categories consist of
two separate groups: TV-Y and 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.)
