Example 1.1 : Age Based setting

Go through all select ratings and select unblocked for “AGE”. This will automatically unblock everything.

Example 1.2 : Age Based setting

For “TV-G” select “BLOCK” for “AGE”. This will automatically block the higher age ratings “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”.

Furthermore, the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV” are automatically blocked as well for “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”.

Example 2.1 : Content Based setting

For “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” select unblocked for each content ratings (“D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV”) by leaving “AGE” unblocked for “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA”. If you choose to unblock for each one in content base.

Example 2.2 : Content Based setting

Please note that with these settings blocking does NOT occur. If a program is rated only “TV-MA”; it must be rated “TV-MA-V” to be blocked.

Example 3 : Reset an Age Based setting

For “TV-14” and select again “BLOCK” for “AGE”.

This will again automatically block the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV” for “TV-MA” as well as “TV-14”.

Please note that the lower age rating “TV-PG” did not change from its previous settings.
