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 con-
tains 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 commer-
cials. 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.
