 It's unlikely that you'll want to provide a custom content negotiation scheme for REST framework, but you can do so if needed.  To implement a custom content negotiation scheme override `BaseContentNegotiation`.
 
-REST framework's content negotiation classes handle selection of both the appropriate parser for the request, and the appropriate renderer for the response,  so you should implement both the `.select_parser(request, parsers)` and `.select_renderer(request, renderers, format_suffix)` methods.
+REST framework's content negotiation classes handle selection of both the appropriate parser for the request, and the appropriate renderer for the response, so you should implement both the `.select_parser(request, parsers)` and `.select_renderer(request, renderers, format_suffix)` methods.
+
+The `select_parser()` method should return one of the parser instances from the list of available parsers, or `None` if none of the parsers can handle the incoming request.
+
+The `select_renderer()` method should return a two-tuple of (renderer instance, media type), or raise a `NotAcceptable` exception.
