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 TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to
block out 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.
3.
Use the left and right arrows to highlight
the Rating Field.
Use the up and down arrows on the remote to scroll through
the
age-based rating limits. Keep scrolling
until the rating
corresponding
with the lowest rating you do not want the child
to watch appears.
In the example
discussed above, you would
scroll through
the
rating field until TV-PG appears, since the highest rating you
want the child to watch is TV-G.
4.
Use the right arrow to move the yellow highlight
to the rating
status field.
5.
Press the up or down arrow to toggle from
View to Block. The
status for the rating listed to the left and all higher ratings
automatically
changes to Block (B).
