Example 2.1 : Content-Based setting

For

“TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” select unblocked

(“– – – –”)

for each content rating but leave "AGE" blocked for “TV-PG”

and “TV-14” only.

Example 2.2 : Content-Based setting

For “TV-PG”, select "BLOCK" for only “V” (Violence).

This will automatically block the higher ratings “TV-14-V” and

“TV-MA-V”

(“TV-14” and “TV-MA” for Violence content only).

Please note that with these settings, blocking does NOT

occur if a program is rated only “TV-MA”; it must be rated

“TV-MA-V” to be blocked.

Example 3 : Reset an Age-Based setting

For “TV-14”, select “BLOCK” for "AGE".

This will again automatically block the content ratings “D”,

“L”, “S”, “V”, “FV” for “TV-MA” in addition to “TV-14”.

Please note that the lower age rating “TV-PG” did not change

from its previous settings.

NOTE:

•

Content ratings can be modified but only in the combinations indicated by “

²

” in the table on

page

16

.

•

Changing a lower age-rating’s content setting to "BLOCK" automatically changes the same higher

age-rating’s content setting to “BLOCK” regardless of their previous settings.

•

Changing a lower rating's “AGE” setting to “BLOCK”

automatically changes all higher ratings to

“BLOCK” regardless of their previous settings.

•

Any rating's "AGE" set to unblocked (“– – – –”) must have its content settings individually set.

[3] ADDITIONAL MODE

Besides the above “MPAA RATINGS” and “TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES,” new ratings systems

data can be downloaded when they become available. (See page
