 Blocking  Age-Based Ratings

You can automatically block all program ratings above a specifi ed 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 higher ratings.

To block programs with higher ratings:

1.  First, determine the lowest level rating you don’t want the child to watch (see 

chart of age-based ratings on previous page). 

2.  Highlight the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch. In the 

example discussed above, you would highlight TV-PG, since the highest 
rating you want the child to watch is 
TV-G.

3.  Press the OK button to toggle between Viewable and Blocked. The status for 

the rating listed to the right and all higher ratings automatically change to 
Blocked (and B).

4. Select 

Lock TV from the Parental Controls menu. Enter a password and re-

enter password a second time to confi rm the password. 

To view age-based ratings after you’ve blocked them, follow the same steps as 
above to make the rating Viewable (V).

 Blocking  Specifi c Content Themes

You can block programs based on their content. When you block a content theme 
for a particular rating, you automatically block that content theme for higher rated 
programs as well. 

For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs that have adult 
language (L) rated TV-PG or higher, then you could block out all programming 
TV-PG and above containing adult language.

To block program content:

1.  Determine the lowest level of content you don’t want the child to watch. 

2.  Use the up and down arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the age-based 

ratings that correspond with the lowest content you do not want the child to 
watch. (In the example above, you would highlight TV-PG.)
