To block certain content, you select a lock, and press
E
(That is, you “click it”.). For example, click the lock at the intersection of
V
and
TV-MA
, and you block all
programs that are rated violent and for mature adults. The locks are also assigned to related groups. For example, if you click
TV-Y
under
All
, then
TV-Y7
will also
automatically be blocked. Similarly, if you click
TV-G
under
All
, then all the categories in the young adult group will be blocked (
TV-G
,
TV-PG
,
TV-14
and
TV-MA
).
The sub-ratings (

,
L
,

, then the
L
sub-ratings in
TV-14
and
TV-MA
will automatically be blocked.
