Blocking Movie Ratings

If you only want your child to watch movies that have a PG rating and lower (in other words, movies rated PG and G), then you could automatically block out all other movies with higher ratings.

To block movies:

1.Highlight the Rating field and press the CHAN up and down buttons to find the rating that is the lowest rating you don’t want the child to watch.

2.Press VOL+ to highlight the rating Status field. Press the CHAN up and down buttons to change the button from View to Block. All higher ratings automatically change to Block.

3.Press MENU to return to the menu or exit the screen.

4.If Parental Controls are not locked, you must lock them so the movie rating limits will take effect.

Note: Some movies may be given a Not Rated (NR) rating. After blocking movie ratings, you must set NR to View separately to view NR movies.
