This will automatically unblock everything.

Example 1.2 : Age Based setting

For “TV-G” select “BLOCK” for “AGE”. This will automatically block the
higher age ratings “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”.
Furthermore, the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV” are automatically
blocked as well for “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”.

Example 2.1 : Content Based setting

For “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” select unblocked for each content
ratings (“D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV”) by leaving “AGE” unblocked for “TV-PG”,

Please note that with these settings blocking does NOT occur. If a

“FV” for “TV-MA” as well as “TV-14”.

previous settings.

• 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”
