Tip
When you change the status of a rating to Block,
the system will automatically block higher ratings
and all corresponding content themes.
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 oilier words, you want tile child to watch
TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out other programming
with
higher ratings.
"Ibblock programs with higher ratings:
1.
First, determine
tile lowest level rating you don't want the child lo watch
(see chart of age-based
ratings on next page).
2.
Press tile left and right arrow buuons to highlight tile Ratit<,4field.
3.
Press tile up and down arrow buttons
on file remow to scroll through the
age-based
rating limits. Keep scrolling until the rating corresponding
with
tile lowest rating you do not want the child lo watch appears
on the screen.
In file example
discussed
above, you would scroll through the Rating field
until TV-PG appears, since the highest rating you want tile child lo watch is
TV-G.
