the Rating field, then scroll through the ratings using the CHAN ^_
buttons until the lowest unacceptable rating is highlighted. Then use
the VOL + button to highlight the Rating Status field and select Block.

rating level: Content Themes are specific to the rating level.
Therefore, you must first highlight the Rating field and scroll through
the ratings using the CHAN ^/v buttons until the lowest rating

Then highlight the Content Theme Status field and change the V to B
under the appropriate Content Theme.
