To block certain content, you select a lock, and press [
] (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
