1.
From Parental Controls, select “Rating
Settings,” then enter the password and press
SELECT.
2.
Select Block by TV Content.

Select a category (for example,

4.
A box containing all the possible ratings
appears. Ratings in green are not locked; ratings in red are locked. (Ratings in gray do
not apply to the category. For example, a TV-Y program would not have

choose to block the “TV-14” rating, a
password is required to view all programs
rated “TV-14,” whether or not those
programs include additional ratings for
specific content.
