Broadcasters are not required to
provide content themes or age-
based ratings. Programs received
with no content themes will only
be blocked if you block their age-
based rating.
To block program content:
1. Determine the lowest level of content you do not want the child to
watch.
2. Use the left and right arrows to highlight the Rating Field.
3. Use the up and down arrows on the remote to scroll through the
age-based ratings until the rating that corresponds with the lowest
content you do not want the child to watch appears. (In the
example above, you would scroll through the ratings until the TV-
PG rating appeared.)
4. Press the right arrow to move the highlight to the field
corresponding with the content theme you wish to block.
5. Press the up or down arrow to change content status from V to B.
All higher ratings’ content theme will automatically change to B.

Viewing Specific Content Themes
If you block specific content themes, you have the option of going back
and changing some of the content themes back to View (V):
1. Determine the content themes you want to change to View (V).
2. Use the left and right arrows to highlight the Rating Field.
3. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the age-based ratings
until the rating whose content theme you want to change to View
appears.
4. Press the right arrow to move the yellow highlight to a particular
content theme status, such as the B under language (L)
corresponding with TV-14.
5. Press the up or down arrows to change its status back to V. Your
child would then be able to watch programs with TV-14 adult
language content, but not programs with TV-PG or TV-MA
language content.
Note that only the content theme status corresponding to TV-14
language (L) changes to View (V). Higher rated content themes,
such as that for TV-MA language, do not change.
