To enable the V-Chip feature,
press the RIGHT arrow
button so that the “V-Chip

Press the RIGHT arrow

DOWN arrow button to
select one of the six age-
based categories:

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.)
