symbol will be selected. (Blank = Unblocked, '_ = Blocked)

ALL/FV/V/S/L/D
>- 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.)
6. How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.

>- 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.
Press the EXIT button to clear all the screens. (Or proceed to the next
section, and set up additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes.)
>- 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.)
