Using the TV’s Features
Blocking Specific Content Themes
You can block programs based on their content. (Content is
represented by the D, L, S, V, FV and TV-Y on your screen.)
When you block a content theme for a particular rating, you
automatically block that content theme for higher rated
programs as well.
To block program content, highlight the Content Field, and
then follow the same steps described for blocking age-based
ratings (above).
Notes: Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes or
age-based ratings. Programs received with no content themes will
only be blocked if you block their age-based rating.
You must remember to lock Parental Controls for rating limits to take
effect.
Viewing Specific Content Themes
If you block specific content themes, you have the option of
going back and changing some of the content themes back
to (V) View:
1. Determine the content themes you want to change to (V)
View.
2. Use the up/down arrow buttons to scroll to the rating
whose content theme you want to change to View.
3. Press the right arrow button to move the yellow
highlight to a particular content theme status.
4. Press the up or down arrow button to change its status
back to V.
Note: Only the content theme status corresponding to TV-14 (L)
language changes to (V) View. Higher rated content themes, such as
that for TV-MA language, do not change.
