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.

For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs that have adult language (L) rated TV-PG or higher, then you would also block out all programming TV-PG and above containing adult language.

To block program content:

1.Determine the lowest level age-based content you do not want the child to watch.

2.Press 1 until the lowest age-based rating whose content theme you do not want the child to watch appears on screen.

3.To change the content theme to Block (B), press the number on the remote that corresponds with the content theme you want to block:

Sexually suggestive

 

 

 

dialogue (D) = 3

Violence (V) = 6

Adult language (L) = 4

Fantasy violence (FV) = 7

• Sexual situations (S) = 5

4.After you press the number, the V for the content theme should change to a B in the content status field. In the ratings settings area, all higher ratings’ content theme status will automatically change to Block (letters will turn red).

Remember: You must lock your Parental Controls settings for rating limits to take effect.
