Blocking Age-Based Ratings and Content Themes

You can automatically block all program ratings or content above a
specified age-based rating level using the V-Chip TV Rating Limit screen.

Refer to the chart at the beginning of this section to learn about each age-
based rating and its associated content ratings.

• To block all programs above a certain rating level:

Highlight

the Rating field, then scroll through the ratings using the CH^/v
buttons until the lowest unacceptable rating is highlighted. Then use
the VOL + button to highlight the Rating Status field and select Block.

• To block all programs with specific content above a certain

rating level:

Content Themes are specific to the rating level.

Therefore, you must first highlight the Rating field and scroll through
the ratings using the CH^/v buttons until the lowest rating associated
with the type of content you want to block is highlighted. Then
highlight the Content Theme Status field and change the V to B under
the appropriate Content Theme.

Viewing Age-Based Ratings and Content Themes

After you have blocked age-based ratings and content themes, you have the
option of selectively changing some of the ratings and themes back to View.

• To view ratings:

Use the VOL +/- buttons to highlight the Rating

Field, then use CH^/v to change its status from Block to View. When
you change a specific rating to View, the Content Status fields
corresponding to the unblocked rating become View as well.

• To view content:

Highlight the Rating field, then use CH^ /v to find

the rating whose Content Theme settings you want to change. Next,
highlight the Content Theme Status that you want to change using
the VOL + button; then use CH^/v to change it to V.
