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:
1. First, determine the lowest level rating you don’t want the child to watch
(see chart of age-based ratings on next page).
2. Press the left and right arrow buttons to highlight the Rating field.
3. Press the up and down arrow buttons 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 on the screen.
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.
