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.

V-GUIDE OPERATION

Use this feature to supervise television viewing for young children. This television can be set to

automatically block programs with content you deem as inappropriate for your children to view,

including: suggestive dialog, adult language, sexual situations, violence, and fantasy violence.

The ability of the television to block the reception of specific programming content depends

upon several conditions: 1) The program must be rated, 2) Networks must broadcast the rating

code data, 3) Cable companies must transmit the rating code signal, and 4) The TV must be

properly setup to decode the signal.
