Blocking Age-Based Ratings
You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified age-
based rating level. For example, if you only want your child to watch
programs that have a
TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want the child to watch only
TV-G,
TV-Y7, and TV-Y programs), then you need to block other programming
with higher ratings.
To block programs with higher ratings:
1. First, determine the lowest level rating you do not want the child to
watch.
2. Highlight the rating status button that corresponds with 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 TV-
PG, since the highest rating you want her to watch is TV-G.)
3. Press OK to change the button from View to Block. The status for
this and all higher ratings automatically change to Block (and B).
Changing the TV-PG rating status button from View to
Block causes the buttons for the higher ratings and
content to change to Block and B.
4. Press the left arrow button on the remote control to return to the
menu.
Viewing Age-Based Ratings
After you block age-based ratings, you have the option of going back
and changing some of the ratings to View.
1. Determine the rating you want to view that is currently blocked.
2. Use the arrows on the remote control to highlight the rating status
button, such as TV-14, whose status is Block.
3. Press OK to change the status to View. Your child would then be
able to watch all programs with a TV-14, TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y
rating.
Note that the content theme buttons corresponding to TV-14
change to View as well. They and the age-based rating status
buttons are the only buttons that automatically change back to
5 6
When you change the status of a rating to
Block, the system will automatically block
higher ratings and all corresponding
content themes.
