To view content themes after you've blocked them, follow the same steps as above to make the content Viewable (V).

Blocking Movie Ratings If you only want your child to watch movies that have a PG rating and lower (in other words, movies rated PG and G), then you could automatically block out all other movies with higher ratings. To block movies: 1. Highlight the rating that is the lowest rating you don't want the child to watch. (In the example above, you would highlight the rating status button corresponding to PG-13, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is PG.) 2. Press the OK button to change the button from Viewable to Blocked. All higher ratings automatically change to Blocked. 3. Lock the TV as described above for rating limits to take effect. Note: Some movies may be given a Not Rated (NR) rating. After blocking movie ratings, you must set NR to Viewable separately to view NR movies. To view movie ratings after you've blocked them, follow the same steps as above to make the rating Viewable (V). Chapter 3 43
