To Block 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 TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need
to block out other programming with higher ratings.
To block programs with higher ratings:
1
. Determine the lowest level rating you do not want the child to
watch.
2
. Continuously press
1
on the remote to scroll through the age-
based ratings. Stop pressing
1
when the lowest rating you do not
want the child to watch appears. (In the example, you would press
1
until TV-PG appeared on screen, since the highest rating you
want the child to watch is TV-G).
