USING THE PROFILES

Viewing Moving Ratings

After you block movie ratings, you have the option of going back and changing some of the rating status buttons back to View:

1.Determine the movie ratings you want to change to View (V).

2.Use the arrows to highlight the status button you want to change.

3.Press OK to change its status back to View.

For example, if movies with a rating of PG-13 and higher are blocked, you can change the rating status button corresponding with NC-17. Your child would then be able to watch all movies with a G, PG, and NC-17 rating.

Some movies may be given a “Not Rated” rating. After blocking movie ratings, you must separately set “Not Rated Movies” to View to see these movies.

BLOCKING UNRATED TV SHOWS

Some TV programming is not rated and may contain material you do not want your children to see. These shows must be blocked separately.

To block unrated shows:

1.Select the user you would like to set limits for through the Profiles menu.

2.Select TV Viewing.

3.Select Set TV Rating.

4.Now select Unrated Shows.

5.Highlight the radio button beside your choice of View Unrated Shows or Block Unrated Shows and press OK to select it.

Note that “unrated” TV shows may include news, sports, political, religious, local and weather programs, emergency bulletins, public announcements, and programs sent without ratings. It could also include programs whose ratings are either “None” or “N/A.”
