V-Chip TV Rating Limit
The V-Chip TV Rating Limit lets you decide which TV programs can be viewed. To set TV programming limits:
1. Choose V-Chip Parental Controls from the Main menu. If Parental Controls have previously been locked, you
must enter your password. If they are not locked, you will get a message reminding you that your limits will
not be effective until you lock Parental Controls.
2. Press MENU to continue.
3. Highlight and select TV Rating Limit.
4. Once you get to the TV Rating Limit screen, use the arrow buttons on your remote to change the status of a TV
program rating or content theme from View to Block.
The following sections give you more details about how to change the status of TV program limits.
Tip
When you change the status
of an age-based rating to
Block, the system will
automatically block that
rating and all of its content
themes and all higher ratings
and their content themes.
When you change the status
of a Content Theme to B, the
system will automatically
block that content theme in
the current rating and in all
higher ratings. Only the
content theme status
corresponding to the current
age-based rating changes to
View (V). Higher rated
content themes do not
change.
