Rating Options

zThe Content-Based Ratings are linked to the level of the Age-Based Rating. For example, a program with an Age-Based Rating of TV-PG V (Violence) rating may contain moderate violence, while a TV-14 V (Violence) rating may contain more intense violence.

zTo ensure maximum blocking capability, set the Age- Based Ratings.

zIf you block unrated TV programs, be aware that the following types of programs may be blocked: programs broadcast from another country, emergency broadcasts, political programs, sports, news, public service announcements, religious programs and weather.

For US models, the Custom Rating Menu includes the following options. (For Canadian models, see page 82.)
