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.)

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.)
