FEATURES AND MENUS
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:
I. First, determine the lowest level rating you do not want the
child to watch.

Use the up and down arrows on the remote to scroll through
the age-based rating limits. Keep scrolling until the rating

to watch appears.

rating field until TV-PG appears, since the highest rating you
want the child to watch is TV-G.

status field.
