Use the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust which ratings are locked or unlocked. The
display to the right of the box will change to tell you exactly what ratings level you are
allowing. Your changes are saved automatically. To return to the Parental Controls screen,
press SELECT or RIGHT arrow.
Broadcasters are not required to provide ratings for specific types of content. If you want
to be sure to block programs that do not include ratings for specific types of content, you
will have to use age-based ratings to block content. See “Rating Limits for TV and
Movies,” above.
Movies and TV Programs with No Rating Information. If a movie has no rating
information, it is treated as if it has the highest movie rating, ‘X.’ If you require a
password for X-rated movies, then movies without rating information also require a
password. If a television program has no rating information, it is treated as if it has the
lowest TV rating, ‘TV-Y.” A password is required to view it only if you set Parental
Controls to require a password for programs rated ‘TV-Y’.
Channel Lock for Live TV (). You can lock individual channels so that a password is
required to view any program on those channels. To lock or unlock channels:
1. From the Parental Controls screen, select “Channel Lock,” and enter the password.
2. A channel list appears with a padlock icon to the left of any locked channels. Highlight
a channel and press SELECT to add or remove a padlock icon. Use CHAN UP/DOWN
to move through the list quickly. You can highlight a specific channel by entering its
channel number with the number buttons on the remote.
3. When you are done, press RIGHT or LEFT to return to Parental Controls. Your
changes are saved automatically.
