To block program content:
1. Determine the lowest level of content you don’t want the child to watch.
2. Press 1 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.)
3. Press the number to select the field corresponding with the content theme
you want to block out.
4. After you press the number, the V for the content theme should change to B
in the content status field. All higher ratings’ content theme will
automatically change to B.
5. Press MENU to return to the Parental Controls menu.
Note: Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes or age-
based ratings. Programs received with no content themes will only be
blocked if you block their age-based rating.
Note: You must remember to lock Parental Controls for rating limits to
take effect.
Viewing Specific Content Themes
If you block specific content themes, you have the option of going back and
changing some of the content themes back to (V) View:
1. Determine the content themes you want to change to (V) View.
2. Press 1 to scroll through the age-based ratings until the rating whose
content theme you want to change to View appears.
3. Press the number on the remote corresponding to a particular content
theme status you want to view, such as the B under language (L)
corresponding with TV-14.
4. After you press the number, the B should change to V in the content status
field. Your child would then be able to watch programs with TV-14 adult
language content, but not programs with TV-PG or TV-MA language
content.
Note: Only the content theme status corresponding to TV-14
(L) language changes to (V) View. Higher rated content themes, such as
that for TV-MA language, do not change.
