FEATURES AND CONTROLS

BLOCKING AGE-BASED RATINGS

You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified age-based rating level. For example, if you only want your child to watch programs that have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want the child to watch TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out other programming with higher ratings.

To block programs:

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

2.Continuously press 1 on the remote to scroll through the age- based ratings. Stop pressing 1 when the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch appears. (In the example, you would press 1 until TV-PG appeared on screen, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is TV-G).

3.Press 2 to change the rating status from View (V) to Block (B). The status for this rating and all higher ratings automatically changes to Block (B) (indicated by the rating limits in the rating status area turning red). Note that all associated content is also automatically blocked.

Changing the TV-PG rating status from View

(V)to Block (B) causes the higher ratings and content to block out as well.

VIEWING AGE-BASED RATINGS

After you block age-based ratings, you have the option of going back and changing some of the content ratings back to View (V).

1.Determine the rating you want to view that is currently blocked.

2.Continually press 1 until the rating status corresponding with the age-based rating you want to change appears on the screen.

3.Press 2 to change the status from Block (B) to View (V). Your child would then be able to watch all programs with a TV-14, TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y rating.

Note that TV-14’s content status fields at the bottom of the screen automatically change to a view state, indicated by green letters. These are the only fields that automatically change back to green when you complete this process.
