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. See the
beginning
of this section for details.) 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 could block
out all programming
TV-PG and above containing
adult language.
To block program
content:
1.
Determine
the lowest level of content
you do not want the
child to watch.
2.
3.

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 ratings until the rating that corresponds
with the
lowest content
you do not want the child to watch appears.
(In
the example above, you would scroll through
the ratings until
the TV-PG rating appeared.)
Press the right arrow to move the highlight
to the field
corresponding
with the content
theme you wish to block out.
Press the up or down arrow to change content
status from Vto
B. All higher ratings'
content
theme will automatically

Broadcasters are not required to

no
content themes will only be
blocked if you block their age-
based rating.
