Using the TV’s Features
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.) 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 content themes you want to block.
2. Press the down arrow button to scroll to the rating
whose content theme you want to change.
3. Press the right arrow button to move the highlight to a
particular content theme status.
4. Press the OK button to change its status to B. (In the
example to the left, you block the language (L)
corresponding with TV-14. The language for TV-MA is
blocked as well).
Notes: Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes or
age-based ratings.
You must remember to activate Parental Controls for rating limits to
take effect.
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 (V) View:
1. Determine the content themes you want to change to (V)
View.
2. Press the down arrow button to scroll to the rating
whose content theme you want to change, such as B
under language (L) corresponding with TV-14.
3. Press the right arrow button to move the highlight to a
particular content theme status.
4. Press the OK button to change the status back to V. Your
child would then be able to watch programs with the TV-
14 adult language content, but not programs with TV-MA
language content.
Note: Only the content theme status corresponding to TV-14 (L)
language changes to (V) View. Higher rated content themes, such as
that for TV-MA language, do not change.
