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 want the child to watch only TV-G,
TV-Y7, and TV-Y programs), then you need to block 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.
2.
Highlight the rating status button that corresponds with the lowest rating you
don’t want the child to watch. (In the example above, you would point to the
rating status button corresponding to TV-PG, since the highest rating you want
the child to watch is TV-G.)
3.
Press OK to change the button from View to Block. The status for this and all
higher ratings automatically changes to Block (and B).
4.
Press the left arrow button on the remote control to return to the menu.
Viewing Age-Based Ratings
After you block age-based ratings, you have the option of going back and changing
some of the ratings to View.
1.
Determine the rating you want to view that is currently blocked.
2.
Use the arrows on the remote control to highlight the rating status button, such
as TV-14, whose status is Block.
3.
Press OK to change the status to View. Your child would then be able to watch
all programs with a TV-14, TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y rating.
Note: the content theme buttons corresponding to TV-14 change to View as
well. They and the age-based rating status buttons are the only buttons that
automatically change back to View when you complete this process.
Changing the TV-PG rating status button
from View to Block makes the higher
ratings automatically change to Block and
the corresponding Rating Content ratings
change to B (block).
