Technicolor - Thomson MULTIMEDIA MONITOR Chip Movie Rating Limit, Blocking Movie Ratings

MENUS AND FEATURES

V-CHIP MOVIE RATING LIMIT

You set movie rating limits by blocking movies rated above a specified level.

Blocking Movie Ratings

If you only want your child to watch movies that have a PG rating and lower (in other words, movies rated PG and G), then you could automatically block out all other movies with higher ratings.

To block movies:

1.Highlight the rating field and press the up and down arrows to find the rating that is the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch. (In the example above, you would point to the rating status button corresponding to PG-13, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is PG.)

2.Use the right arrow to highlight the rating status field. Press OK to change the button from View to Block.

After you block movie ratings, you have the option of changing some of the rating status buttons back to View:
