Blocking Movie Ratings
If you only want your child to watch movies that have a PG rating and lower
(in other words, movies rated PG and G), then you could automatically block
out all other movies with higher ratings.
To block movies:
1. Highlight the Rating field and press the up and down arrow buttons to find
the rating that is the lowest rating you don’t want the child to watch. (In
the example above, you would highlight the rating status button
corresponding to PG-13, since the highest rating you want the child to
watch is PG.)
2. Press the right arrow button to highlight the rating Status field. Press the up
and down arrow buttons to change the button from View to Block. All
higher ratings automatically change to Block.
3. Press OK to return to the menu or exit the screen.
4. If Parental Controls are not locked, you must lock them so the movie rating
limits will take effect.
Note: Some movies may be given a Not Rated (NR) rating. After blocking
movie ratings, you must set NR to View separately to view NR movies.
Viewing Movie Ratings
After you block movie ratings, you have the option of changing some of the
rating status buttons back to View:
1. Highlight the Rating field and press the up and down arrow buttons to find
the rating you want to view.
2. Press the right arrow button to highlight the rating Status field. Press the up
and down arrows to change the button from Block to View.
For example, if movies with a rating of PG-13 and higher are blocked, you can
change the rating status corresponding with NC-17. Your child would then be
able to watch all movies with a G, PG, and NC-17 Rating.
3. Press OK to exit the screen, and be sure parental controls are locked.
