Blocking Age-Based Ratings
You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified age-
based rating level. For example, if you only want your child to watch
programs that have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want
the child to watch TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block all
programming with higher ratings.
To block programs with higher ratings:
1. First, determine the lowest level rating you do not want the child to
watch.

Use the left and right arrows to highlight the Rating field.
Use the up and down arrows on the remote to scroll through the
age-based rating limits. Keep scrolling until the rating
corresponding with the lowest rating you do not want the child to
watch appears.
In the example discussed above, you would scroll through the
choices in the Rating field until TV-PG appears, since the highest
rating you want the child to watch is TV-G.
Use the right arrow to move the yellow highlight to the Rating
Status field.
5. Press the up or down arrow to toggle between View and BIock. The
status for the rating listed to the left and all higher ratings
automatically changes to Block (B, red).
