Blocking and Unblocking Movie Ratings
The Rating Setting screen has two columns of ratings – the first is for movies. You set movie (MPAA) rating limits by blocking movies
rated above a specified rating.
To block a movie rating:
1. In the
Rating Setting
menu, use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the lowest rating you’d like to block for
movies (in the left column on the screen).
For example, 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 by highlighting the rating status button corresponding
to PG-13.
2. Press OK to block the highlighted rating along with all ratings below it on the screen.
All of the blocked ratings have a lock icon next to them. (See the next page for information about individual movie and TV ratings.)
Note:
The Rating Control will not block unrated programs or movies.
