V-CHIP MOVIE RATING LIMIT

You set movie rating limits by blocking movies rated above a specified
level.

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.

To block movies:

1. Highlight the rating field and press the up and down arrows to find

the rating that is the lowest rating you do not want the child to
watch. (In the example above, you would point to the rating status
button corresponding to PG-13, since the highest rating you want the
child to watch is PG.)

2. Use the right arrow to highlight the rating status field. Press OK to

change the button from View to Block.

4. If Parental Controls are not locked, you must lock them so the

movie rating limits will take effect. See the section Locking Parental
Controls
.

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 up and down arrows to find

the rating you want to view.

2. Use the right arrow to highlight the rating status field. Press the up

and down arrows 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 button corresponding with NC-17. Your
child would then be able to watch all movies with a G, PG, and NC-17
rating.

3. Press the left arrow to return to the menu or exit the screen, and be

sure parental controls are locked (see the section Locking Parental
Controls
).
