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.) When you block a content theme for a particular rating, you automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as well.

To block program content:

1.Determine the content themes you want to block.

2.Press the down arrow button to scroll to the rating whose content theme you want to change.

3.Press the right arrow button to move the highlight to a particular content theme.

4.Press the OK button to change its status to lock. (In the example to the left, you block the language (L) corresponding with TV-14. The language for TV-MA is blocked as well.)

Notes: Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes or age-based ratings.

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

To view content theme after you've locked them, follow the same steps as above to unlock. Note that if you unlock the language corresponding with TV-14, the language for TV-MA doesn't unlock. You have to unlock the content theme status for each rating separately.
