Viewing Age-Based Ratings
After you block age-based ratings, you have the option of changing some of the
ratings back to View.
1. Determine which blocked rating you want to view.
2. Use the up and down arrow buttons to select the rating with a status
of Block.
3. Press the right arrow button to move the yellow highlight to the rating
status field.
4. Press the up button to select View.
Notes: The content status fields corresponding to the unblocked rating become
View as well. They and the age-based rating status are the only fields that
automatically change back to View when you complete this process.
You must remember to lock Parental Controls for rating limits to take effect.
Blocking Specific Content Themes
You can block programs based on their content. (Content is represented by the
D, L, S, V, FV and TV-Y 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.
