Viewing Movie Ratings

After you block movie ratings, you have the option of changing some of the
rating status buttons back to View:

1.

Highlight the Rating field and press the CHAN and CHAN^ buttons to
find the rating you want to view.

2.

Press the VOL+ button to highlight the rating Status field. Press the CHAN
and CHAN^ buttons to change the button from Block to View.

For example, if movies with a rating of PG-13 and higher are blocked, you can
change the rating status corresponding with NC-17. Your child would then be
able to watch all movies with a G, PG, and NC-17 Rating.

3.

Press MENU to exit the screen, and be sure parental controls are locked.
