Features and Controls

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 do not want the child

to watch.

2. Use the left and right arrows to highlight the Rating Field.

3. Use the up and down arrows 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.

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.

4. Use the right arrow to move the yellow highlight to the rating

status field.

5. Press the up or down arrow to toggle between View and Block.

The status for the rating listed to the left and all higher ratings
automatically changes to Block (and B).
