Tips
• The Content-Based Ratings are linked to the level of the
Age-Based Rating. For example, a program with the Age-
Based Rating of [TV-PG V] (Violence) rating may
contain moderate violence, while a [TV-14 V] (Violence)
rating may contain more intense violence.
• To ensure maximum blocking capability, set the Age-
Based Ratings.
• If you block unrated TV programs, be aware that the
following types of programs may be blocked: programs
broadcast from another country, emergency broadcasts,
political programs, sports, news, public service
announcements, religious programs and weather.
