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.Highlight Rating, then press the right arrow to select the age- based rating you want to change.

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

4.Press the OK button to change its status to Block. (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 activate Parental Controls for rating limits to take effect.
