Parental Control can be used to block specific channels, ratings, and
other viewing sources.

viewing based on the ratings sent by the broadcast station. The
default setting is to allow all programs to be viewed. Viewing can be
blocked by the type of program and by the categories chosen to be
blocked. It is also possible to block all program viewing for a time
period. To use this function, the following must be set:
1. Ratings and categories to be blocked.
