How to Set up Restrictions Using the “TV guidelines”

Parental restrictions can be set up using either of two methods: The TV guidelines or the MPAA rating.

based categories:
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.
