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 select the rating with a status of Block.

3.Press the right arrow button to move the yellow highlight to the rating status field.

4.Press the up button to select View.

Note: The content status fields corresponding to the unblocked rating become View as well. They and the age-based rating status are the only fields that automatically change back to View when you complete this process.

Note: You must remember to lock Parental Controls for rating limits to take effect.

Blocking Specific Content Themes

You can block programs based on their content. (Content is represented by the D, L, S, V, FV and TV-Y on your screen. See the beginning of this section for details.) When you block a content theme for a particular rating, you automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as well.

For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs that have adult language (L) rated TV-PG or higher, then you could block out all programming TV-PG and above containing adult language.

To block program content:

1.Determine the lowest level of content you don’t want the child to watch.

2.Use the up and down arrow buttons on the remote to scroll through the age-based ratings until the rating that corresponds with the lowest content you do not want the child to watch appears. (In the example above, you would scroll through the ratings until the TV-PG rating appeared.)
