Blocking Programming with Movie Ratings

T here are two types of ratings for Parental Control. One is based on movie industry ratings.

The other is based on TV industry ratings. Both can be used to censor programming.

Let’s first look at the MPAA Rating options of Parental Control.

2 Press VOL+ or VOL- to highlight SET.

PARENTAL CONTROL.

5 Press the Number buttons to enter your four-digit secret code.

6 Press CH+ or CH- to highlight MPAA

RATING.

7 Press VOL+ or VOL- to display the MPAA ratings (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17, and X).

8 Press CH+ or CH- to select the rating you want to block.

9 Press VOL+ or VOL- to block (or unblock) the rating. A checkmark will appear to the left of the rating when blocked.

When you block a rating, higher ratings are blocked automatically. To unblock all the ratings, select CLEAR.

10Press TV/AV/EXIT to remove the menu.

Helpful Hint

Blocking any rating (ON) will block all the higher ratings automatically. For example, if R is blocked manually, NC 17 and X will be blocked auto- matically.

To turn a rating OFF, set each rating individually.
