Viewing Age-Based Ratings
After you block age-based ratings, you have the option of changing some of the ratings back
to View.
1. Determine which blocked rating you want to view.
2. Use the CHAN up and down buttons to select the rating with a status of Block.
3. Press VOL+ to move the up/down arrows to the rating status field.
4. Press the up arrow button to select View.
Notes: The content status fields corresponding to the unblocked rating become View
as well. They and the age-based rating status are the only fields that automatically
change back to View when you complete this process.
You must remember to lock Parental Controls for rating limits to take effect.
Blocking Specific Content Themes
You can block programs based on their content. (Content is represented by the D, L, S, V
and FV on your screen. See the beginning of this section for details.) When you block a
content theme for a particular rating, you automatically block that content theme for higher
rated programs as well.
To block program content:
1. Determine the lowest level of content you don’t want the child to watch.
2. Use the CHAN up and down buttons 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.
3. Press VOL+ to move the highlight to the field corresponding with the content theme
you want to block out.
