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.
To block program content:
1. Determine the lowest level of content you don’t want
the child to watch.
2. Use the up and down arrow buttons on the remote 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 right arrow button to move the highlight to
the field corresponding with the content theme you
want to block out.
4. Press the up or down arrow button to change content
status from V to B.
All higher ratings’ content theme will automatically
change to B.
5. Press OK to return to the menu or exit the screen.
Notes: 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.
You must remember to lock Parental Controls
for rating limits to take effect.
