Blocking Movie Ratings
If you only want your child to watch movies that have a PG rating and lower (in
other words, movies rated PG and G), then you could automatically block out
all other movies with higher ratings.
To block movies:
1. Determine the lowest rating you don’t want the child to watch.
2. Continuously press 1 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 PG-13, since the highest
rating you want the child to watch is PG.)
3. Press 2 to change the status from View to Block. All higher ratings’ status
will automatically change to Block.
4. Press MENU to exit.
Note: If Parental Controls are not locked, you must lock them so the
movie rating limits will take effect.
Note: Some movies may be given a Not Rated (NR) rating. After blocking
movie ratings, you must set NR to View separately to view NR movies.
Viewing Movie Ratings
After you block movie ratings, you have the option of changing some of the
rating status buttons back to View:
1. Determine the movie ratings you want to change to View.
2. Continuously press 1 until the rating appears that you want to view.
3. Press 2 to change the status from Block to View.
For example, if movies with a rating of PG-13 and higher are blocked, you can
change the rating status corresponding with NC-17. Your child would then be
able to watch all movies with a G, PG, and NC-17 Rating.
4. Press MENU to exit the screen, and be sure parental controls are locked.
V-Chip Unrated Program Block
Selecting this option lets you decide if programs that the V-Chip recognizes as
“unrated” can be viewed. Note that “unrated” TV programs may include news,
sports, political, religious, local and weather programs, emergency bulletins,
public announcements, and programs without ratings.
View All unrated programs are available.
Block All unrated programs are not available.
Note: You must remember to lock Parental Controls for rating limits to
take effect.
