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 out
other 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.
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 rating limits. Keep scrolling until the rating corresponding
with the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch appears.
When you change the status of a
rating to Block, the system will
automatically block higher
ratings and all corresponding
content themes.
