What is HDMI?
- HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a next-generation interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable without compression.
- “Multimedia interface” is a more accurate name for it especially because it allows multiple channels of digital audio (5.1 channels). The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size, has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and supports multi-channel digital audio.

TV-Y : Young children
TV-Y7 : Children 7 and over
TV-G : General audience
TV-PG : Parental guidance
TV-14 : Viewers 14 and over
TV-MA : Mature audience
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.)
Continued...
5
At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected.
Depending on your existing setup, the letter "U" or "B" will be highlighted (changed to yellow). (U= Unblocked, B= Blocked)
When the "U" or "B" is highlighted, press the ENTER button to block or unblock the category. To select a different TV-Rating, press the UP/DOWN▲▼ buttons and then repeat the process. To EXIT this screen, press the MENU button again.
Note 1: The TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA have additional options. See the next step to change 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.)
6
How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.
First, select one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 or TV-MA (See Step 4, on previous page).
Next, while the TV-Rating is selected, repeatedly press the LEFT or RIGHT buttons.
This will cycle through the available sub-ratings (FV,L, S, D or V).
A highlighted letter ("U" or "B") will be displayed for each sub-rating. While the "U" or "B" is highlighted, press the ENTER button to change the sub-rating.
Press the MENU button once to save the TV guidelines.
To select a different TV-Rating, press the UP/DOWN ▲▼ buttons and then repeat the process.
To exit this screen, press the MENU button once again.
Note: The V-chip will automatically block certain categories that are “More restrictive”. For example, if you block the “L” sub-rating in TV-PG, then the “L” sub-ratings in TV-14 and TV-MA will automatically be blocked.
7
Press the EXIT button to exit.
(Or proceed to the next section, and set up additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes).
How to Set up Restrictions Using the MPAA Ratings: G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17, X, NR
The MPAA rating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system, and its main application is for movies.
When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically block any programs that are coded with objectionable ratings (either MPAA or TV-Ratings).

| R | (Restricted. Children under 17 should be accompanied by an adult). |
| NC-17 | No children under age 17. |
| X | (Adults only). |
| NR | Not rated. |
Press the ENTER button to select "U" or "B".
Press the EXIT button to save and clear all screen.
Note: The V-Chip will automatically block any category that is “more restrictive”.
For example, if you block the “PG-13” category, then “R”, “NC-17” and “X” will automatically be blocked also.
How to Reset the TV after the V-Chip Blocks a Channel ('Emergency Escape')
If the TV is tuned to a restricted channel, the V-Chip will block it. The screen will go blank and the following message will appear: "Excessive rating".
To resume normal viewing, tune to a different channel using the number buttons. Under certain conditions (depending on the rating of the local TV programs) the V-Chip might lock out all the channels.
