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 ail programming TV-PG and above containing adult language.

To block program content:

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

2.Use the left and right arrows to highlight the Rating Field.

3.Use the up and down arrows 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.)

4.Press the right arrow to move the highlight to the field corresponding with the content theme you wish to block out.

5.Press the up or down arrow to change content status from V to B. All higher ratings' content theme wiil automatically change to B.
