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.
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 arrows to find
the rating that is the lowest rating you do not want the child to
watch. (In the example above, you would point to the rating status
button corresponding to PG-13, since the highest rating you want
the child to watch is PG.)
2. Use the right arrow to highlight the rating status field. Press the up
and down arrows to change the button from View to Block. All
higher ratings’ View buttons will 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.
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 arrows to find
the rating you want to view.
2. Use the right arrow 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 button corresponding
with NC-17. Your child would then be able to watch all movies with
a G, PG, and NC-17 rating.
3. Press MENU or OK to return to the menu or exit the screen, and be
sure parental controls are locked.
