Blocking Specific Content Themes
You can block programs based on their content. 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 highlight
the age-based ratings that correspond with the lowest content you
do not want the child to watch. (In the example above, you would
highlight TV-PG.)
3. Press the OK button to change content status from (V) Viewable to
(B) Blocked. All higher ratings’ content themes change to Blocked.
Notes: Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes
or age-based ratings.
You must remember to lock the TV as described above for rating
limits to take effect.
To view content themes after you’ve blocked them, follow the same steps
as above to make the content Viewable (V). Note that if you unblock the
language corresponding to TV-PG, for example, the language for TV-MA
doesn’t get unblocked. You have to unblock each content theme for each
rating separately.

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.

content themes.
