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-YT, 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.
4.
5,
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.
Use the right arrow to move the yellow highlight
to the
rating status field.
Press the up or down arrow to toggle between
View and
Block. The status for the rating listed to the left and all
higher ratings automatically
changes to Block (and B).
