FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Blocking Age-Based Ratings

You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified age-based rating level. For example, if you only want your child to watch programs that have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want the child to watch TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out other programming with higher ratings.

To block programs with higher ratings:

1.First, determine the lowest level rating you do not want the child to watch.

2.Use the left and right arrows to highlight the Rating Field.

3.Use the up and down arrows on the remote to scroll through the age-based rating limits. Keep scrolling until the rating corresponding with the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch appears.

In the example discussed above, you would scroll through the rating field until TV-PG appears, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is TV-G.

4.Use the right arrow to move the yellow highlight to the rating status field.

5.

When you change the status of a rating to Block, the system will automatically block higher ratings and all corresponding content themes.
