Features and Controls
Blocking Specific Content Themes
You can block programs based on their content. (Content is
represented by the D, L, S, V, and FV on your screen.) When you
block a content theme for a particular rating, you automatically
block that content theme for higher-rated programs as well.
For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs that
have adult language (L) rated TV-PG or higher, then you would also
block out all programming TV-PG and above containing adult
language.
To block program content:
1.
Determine the lowest level age-based content you do not
want the child to watch.
2.
Press 1 until the lowest age-based rating whose content
theme you do not want the child to watch appears on
screen.
3.
To change the content theme to Block (B), press the number
on the remote that corresponds with the content theme you
want to block:
• Sexually suggestive
dialogue (D) = 3
• Adult language (L) = 4
• Sexual situations (S) = 5
4.
After you press the number, the V for the content theme
should change to a B in the content status field. In the
ratings settings area, all higher ratings' content theme
status will automatically change to Block (letters will turn
red).
Remember: You must lock your Parental Controls settings for rating
limits to take effect.
Viewing Specific Content Themes
After you block specific content themes, you have the option of
going back and changing some of the content themes back to
View (V).
1.
Determine the rating you want to change to View (V).
2.
Continuously press 1 until the rating status corresponding
with the content theme(s) you want to change appears on
screen.
3.
To change the content theme from Block (B) to View (V),
press the number on the remote that corresponds with the
content theme you want to view.
4.
After you press the number, the B should change to V in the
content status field.
• Violence (V) = 6
• Fantasy violence (FV) = 7
Selecting TV-PG and the content theme
Adult language (L) blocks all programs
with Adult language (L) rated TV-PG and
higher.
Pressing CLEAR exits Parental Controls
without saving your changes.
Note that only the content theme status
corresponding to the rating you selected
changes to View (V). Higher-rated content
themes, such as that for TV-MA language,
do not change to View (V).
