WHERE CAN I FIND ADVANCE NOTICE OF PROGRAM RATING
Publishers of programming guides have been asked to include these ratings along with other infor-
mation they publish. You can expect to find this information in newspapers,
magazines, and on-screen listings and guides.
TYPES OF PROGRAMS TO RECEIVE RATING
The TV Parental Guidelines will apply to various types of TV programming, including: specials,
mini-series, and movies. Sports and news shows will not carry the guidelines.
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.
The TV guidelines rating icon will generally appear at the upper left hand corner of your TV screen.

V-GUIDE INFORMATION

NOTE:
THIS FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA'S FCC V-CHIP REGULATIONS. THEREFORE, IT MAY NOT FUNC-
TION WITH BROADCASTS THAT ORIGINATE IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
With the introduction of "V-Chip" technology, it is now possible for Fisher
televisions to interpret MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines rating codes. When
these codes are detected, the TV will automatically display or block the program,
depending upon choices you make when setting up the V-Guide system.
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.
MPAA is a voluntary rating system used by the movie industry. TV Parental Guidelines are
modeled after the MPAA ratings and were designed to be simple to use, easy to understand,
and easy to find.
TV Parental Guidelines contain both age-based and content-based information. 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 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.
