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 w'ant the child to watch
TV-G, 1Y-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-ba,sed ratings on next page).
2. Press the left and right arrtw 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 w-atch appears on the screen.
In the example discussed above, you would scroll thixjugh the yto/fng field
until TV-PG appears, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is
IV-G.
