Notes:
-Age-based ratings can be modified by the content-based ratings, but only in the combinations indicated by an "X" in the table above.
-Choosing a lower age-based rating blocks the higher age-based ratings regardless of content rating settings.
-When age-based blocking is unnecessary, select "NONE". Even in this case, you can select content-based blocking for all ages.
