Blocking and Unblocking Content by Rating
A channel may sometimes broadcast programs that are meant for children, and at other times 
broadcast programs that are meant for mature audiences. You may not want to block the channel 
completely using a channel lock, but you may wish to block certain programs from being viewed.

When this is the case, you can use the TV’s Rating Block feature to block content based on its 
rating.

1.  From the Parental Controls menu, highlight the content type you want to adjust and press 

OK:

USA - Movie - USA movie broadcasts.
