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.
