USING THE PROFILES

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 words, you want the child to watch only TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y programs), then you need to block other programming with higher ratings.

To block programs with higher ratings:

1.First, determine the lowest level rating you do not want the child to watch.

2.Highlight the rating status button that corresponds with the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch. (In the example above, you would point to the rating status button corresponding to TV-PG, since the highest rating you want her to watch is TV-G.)

3.Press OK to change the button from View to Block. The status for this and all higher ratings automatically change to Block (and B).

Changing the TV-PG rating status button from View to Block causes the buttons for the higher ratings and content to change to Block and B.

4. Press the left arrow button on the remote control to return to the menu.

Viewing Age-Based Ratings

After you block age-based ratings, you have the option of going back and changing some of the ratings to View.

1.Determine the rating you want to view that is currently blocked.

2.Use the arrows on the remote control to highlight the rating status button, such as TV-14, whose status is Block.

3.Press OK to change the status to View. Your child would then be able to watch all programs with a TV-14, TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y rating.

Note that the content theme buttons corresponding to TV-14 change to View as well. They and the age-based rating status buttons are the only buttons that automatically change back to View when you complete this process.

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