TIP

For ratings limits and channel blocks, as well as most other SELECT checkbox-type items, pressing SELECT toggles the item on and off when setting them up.

TV Programs

SELECT the TV tab, then highlight and select the TV rating you desire. You can also set ratings for par- ticular content (for example, Fantasy Violence, Dialogue), each of which is described when highlighted.

Other Shows

To block programming that has no rating — such as news and sports — select the Other tab.

Channel Blocks

You can block viewing of a certain channel or channels from this menu.

SELECT Chan Blocks in the left menu, then scroll down the channel list to SELECT those you wish to block, or key in channel numbers for quicker access. Use Block All or Allow All to save time if you wish to affect a large number of channels.

Spending

From the left menu, SELECT Spending, then set your preferred spending limit for any single pay per view purchase. Simply key in the amount using the numbers on your remote.

Hours

From the left menu, SELECT Hours, then set your preferred hours during which TV can be viewed. You can set hours based on “school nights” and weekend nights—Monday-Thursday, Friday-Saturday, and Sunday.
