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.
