Blocking and Unblocking Content by Rating
A channel may sometimes broadcast programs that are meant for children, and at other times broadcast programs that are meant for mature audiences. You may not want to block the channel completely using a channel lock, but you may wish to block certain programs from being viewed.
When this is the case, you can use the TV’s Rating Block feature to block content based on its rating.
For a list of content ratings and their definitions, visit
www.tvguidelines.org.

2.For each rating type you want to block or unblock, use the Up/Down and Left/Right Arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the rating type and press OK.
3.When the rating type is blocked, the Lock icon appears locked. Content with this rating cannot be viewed.
