― 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 (
D
,
L
,
S
,
V
) work similarly. So, if you
block the L sub-rating in
TV-PG
, then the
L
sub-ratings in
TV-14
and
TV-MA
will automatically be blocked.
― To unblock a category, click the lock. To unblock all the categories in a row, click the lock under
All
.
― To watch a blocked program, you must enter the Security code when requested.

America has implemented a rating system that provides parents with information about which films are
appropriate for children.
G
: General audience (no restrictions). /
PG
: Parental guidance suggested. /
PG-13
: Parents strongly cautioned.
/
R
: Restricted. Children under 17 should be accompanied by an adult. /
NC-17
: No children under age 17. /
X
:
Adults only. /
NR
: Not rated.
― To block certain content, you select a lock, and press E (That is, you “click it”.). For example, click the X lock
and you block all X-rated movies. The rating categories are also grouped so that clicking one category blocks
all the categories a parent would block along with it. For example, if you block the
PG-13
category, then
R
,
NC-
17
and
X
will automatically be blocked also.
