Tip

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

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 v, ords, you want the child to watch TV-G, TVY7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out other programming with higher ratings.

To block progranrs with higher ratings:

1, First, determine the lowest level rating you don't want the chiM to watch (see chart of age based ratings on next page).

2. Press the left and right arrow buttons to a ga gat ae R_ ti l,q fed

3.Press tire up and down arrow buttons 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 \vatch appears on the screen.

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

TV-G.
