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 higher ratings.

To block programs with higher ratings:

1.First, determine the lowest level rating you don’t want the child to watch.

2.Highlight the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch. In the example discussed above, you would highlight TV-PG, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is TV-G.

3.Highlight Status. Press the OK button to toggle between View and Block. The status for the rating you chose and all higher ratings automatically change to Block.

4.Select Lock Parental Controls from the Parental Control menu. Enter a password and if haven’t set your password, you’ll need to re-enter the password a second time to confirm.

Viewing Age-Based Ratings

After you block age-based ratings, you have the option of changing some of the ratings back to View.

1.Determine which blocked rating you want to view.

2.Use the up and down arrow buttons to highlight the rating with a status of Block.

3.Press the OK button to select View.
