SELECT.

2.Select Block by TV Content.

4.A box containing all the possible ratings

appears. Ratings in green are not locked; ratings in red are locked. (Ratings in gray do not apply to the category. For example, a TV-Y program would not have V-Violencecontent so there is nothing to block.)

Broadcasters are not required to provide ratings for specific types of content. Parental Controls only blocks

programs that do not have specific content ratings if you choose to block their age-based ratings (described on the previous page). For example, if you choose to block the “TV-14” rating, a password is required to view all programs rated “TV-14,” whether or not those programs include additional ratings for specific content.
