Viewing Age-Based Ratings
After you block age-based ratings, you have the option of changing some of the
ratings back to
View .
1. Determine which blocked rating you want to view.
2. Use the up and down arrow buttons to select the rating with a status
of
Block .
3. Press the right arrow button to move the yellow highlight to the rating
status field.
4. Press the up button to select View.
Note: The content status fields corresponding to the unblocked rating
become View as well. They and the age-based rating status are the only
fields that automatically change back to View when you complete
this process.
Note: You must remember to lock Parental Controls for rating limits to
take effect.
Blocking Specific Content Themes
You can block programs based on their content. (Content is represented by the
D, L, S, V, FV and TV-Y on your screen. See the beginning of this section for
details.) When you block a content theme for a particular rating, you
automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as well.
For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs that have adult
language (L) rated TV-PG or higher, then you could block out all programming
TV-PG and above containing adult language.
To block program content:
1. Determine the lowest level of content you don’t want the child to watch.
2. Use the up and down arrow buttons on the remote to scroll through the
age-based ratings until the rating that corresponds with the lowest content
you do not want the child to watch appears. (In the example above, you
would scroll through the ratings until the TV-PG rating appeared.)
