Blocking Specific Content Themes

You can block programs based on their content. (Content is represented by the D, L, S, V and FV on your screen. See the beginning of this section for details.) When you block a content theme for a particular rating, you automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as well.

For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs that have adult language (L) rated TV-PG or higher, then you could block out all programming TV-PG and above containing adult language.

To block program content:

1.Determine the lowest level of content you don’t want the child to watch.

2. Use the CHAN^ and CHAN^ buttons on the remote to scroll through the age-based ratings until the rating that corresponds with the lowest content you do not want the child to watch appears. (In the example above, you would scroll through the ratings until the TV-PG rating appeared.)

3.Press the VOL+ button to move the highlight to the field corresponding with the content theme you wish to block out.

4. Press the CHAN^ or CHAN^ button to change content status from V to B. All higher ratings’ content theme will automatically change to B.

5.Press MENU to return to the menu or exit the screen.

Notes: Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes or age- based ratings. Programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating.

You must remember to lock Parental Controls for rating limits to take effect.

Viewing Specific Content Themes

If you block specific content themes, you have the option of going back and changing some of the content themes back to (V) View:

1.Determine the content themes you want to change to (V) View.

2. Use the CHAN^ and CHAN^ buttons to scroll through the age-based ratings until the rating whose content theme you want to change to View appears.

3.Press the VOL+ button to move the yellow highlight to a particular content theme status, such as the B under language (L) corresponding with TV-14.

4. Press the CHAN^ or CHAN^ button to change its status back to V. Your child would then be able to watch programs with TV-14 adult language content, but not programs with TV-PG or TV-MA language content.

Note: Only the content theme status corresponding to TV-14 (L) language changes to (V) View. Higher rated content themes, such as that for TV-MA language, do not change.
