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 only
TV-G,
TV-Y7, and TV-Y programs), then you need to block 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.
Highlight
the rating status button
that corresponds
with the lowest
rating you do not want the child to watch.
(In the example above,
you would
point to the rating status button
corresponding
to TV-
PG, since the highest rating you want her to watch is TV-G.)
PressOK to change the button
from
Viewto
Block. The status for
this and all higher ratings automatically
change to Block (and t3).
4.
Changing
the TV-PG rating
status button
from View to
Block causes the buttons
for the higher
ratings and
content
to change to Block and B.
Press the left arrow button
on the remote control to return to the
menu.
When you change the status of a rating to I
Block, the system will automatically
block
