The V-Chip Rating Limit Screen
The following is an example of where items are located within the Rating Limit screen.
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.
Tip
When you change the status of a rating to Block, the system
will automatically block higher ratings and all corresponding
content themes.
