Viewing Movie Ratings
After you block movie ratings, you have the option of changing some of the rating status
buttons back to View:
1. Highlight the Rating field and press the CHAN up and down buttons to find the rating
you want to view.
2. Press the VOL + button to highlight the rating Status field. Press the CHAN up and down
buttons to change the button from Block to View.
For example, if movies with a rating of PG-13 and higher are blocked, you can change
the rating status corresponding with NC-17. Your child would then be able to watch all
movies with a G, PG, and NC-17 Rating.
3. Press MENU to exit the screen, and be sure parental controls are locked.

be viewed. Note that “unrated” TV programs may include news, sports, political, religious,
local and weather programs, emergency bulletins, public announcements, and programs
without ratings.
View All unrated programs are available.
Block All unrated programs are not available.
Note: You must remember to lock Parental Controls for rating limits to take effect.
