Blocking Age-Based Ratings and Content Themes
You can automatically block all program ratings or content
above a specified age-based rating level using the V-Chip TV
Rating Limit screen.
Refer to the chart at the beginning of this section to learn
about each age-based rating and its associated content
ratings.
• To block all programs above a certain rating
level: Highlight the Rating field, then scroll through the
ratings using the CHAN ^/v buttons until the lowest
unacceptable rating is highlighted. Then use the VOL +
button to highlight the Rating Status field and select
Block.
• To block all programs with specific content above a
certain rating level: Content Themes are specific to the
rating level. Therefore, you must first highlight the Rating
field and scroll through the ratings using the CHAN ^/v
buttons until the lowest rating associated with the type
of content you want to block is highlighted. Then
highlight the Content Theme Status field and change the
V to B under the appropriate Content Theme.
Viewing Age-Based Ratings and Content Themes
After you have blocked age-based ratings and content
themes, you have the option of selectively changing some of
the ratings and themes back to View.
• To view ratings: Use the VOL +/- buttons to highlight
the Rating Field, then use CHAN ^/v to change its status
from Block to View. When you change a specific rating to
View, the Content Status fields corresponding to the
unblocked rating become View as well.
• To view content: Highlight the Rating field, then use
CHAN ^/v to find the rating whose Content Theme
settings you want to change. Next, highlight the Content
Theme Status that you want to change using the VOL +
button; then use CHAN ^/v to change it to V.
While within the Rating Limit screens,
pressing RESET on the remote will reset
all ratings to View and V.
Overriding Limits
When you override a blocked program
by entering your password, the Parental
Controls option on the V-Chip Parental
Controls menu will read Disabled. In
this state, access to the Parental
Controls menu is still locked and all
controls will be in effect the next time
the TV is turned on.
