L'invention concerne un procédé et un système qui permettent à un téléspectateur de désélectionner certaines parties ou de sauter certaines scènes d'une émission d'un support numérique qu'il juge inconvenantes. Certains modes de réalisation substitutifs ou complémentaires permettent au téléspectateur de choisir d'autres scènes de la même émission enregistrées par le réalisateur n'incluant pas la matière jugée inconvenante. Des unités d'exécution navigationnelles préétablies codées dans un support lisible par un ordinateur indiquent à un dispositif de lecture la séquence appropriée de segments de l'émission devant être lue pour satisfaire un seuil de cotation de contenu spécifié par l'utilisateur.
