To Block 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 TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out other programming with higher ratings.

To block programs with higher ratings:

1. Determine the lowest level rating you do not want the child to watch.

2. Continuously press 1 on the remote to scroll through the age- based ratings. Stop pressing 1 when the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch appears. (In the example, you would press 1 until TV-PG appeared on screen, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is TV-G).
