The ratingsare divided into two groups that function independently:• Youth group – TV-Y, TV-Y7• Main group – TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MAWithin each of these groups, the ratings interact such that if you block a particularlevel of content, the TV also blocks all content with a higher rating. Conversely, if youunblock a particular level of content, the TV also unblocks all content with a lowerrating. For example, if you block TV-PG programs, the TV also blocks TV-14 and TV-MA programs. If you subsequently unblock TV-14 programs, TV-PG programs are alsounblocked, but TV-MA programs remain blocked.Similarly, within the main group, content types can be individually blocked. Forexample, you can block just coarse language in shows with a TV-PG rating. If you do,then the TV also blocks shows with coarse language in the higher ratings (TV-14 andTV-MA). Subsequently unblocking coarse language in TV-14 ratings does not unblockcoarse language in TV-MA programs, but it does unblock coarse language in TV-PGprograms.
