To block movies based on MPAA ratings: 1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2 In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV Tuner > Movie ratings. 3 Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically blocked. Blocking based on Other ratings Your TV can block programs having ratings that had not been defined when the TV was manufactured. It does this by detecting a new Rating Region Table in a program and then downloading the new table and displaying its rating in the Parental controls. When the TV downloads a new Rating Region Table, it adds a new option to the list of rating types: Other ratings. If you see this option in the Parental controls screen, you have tuned to a station that has implemented a new rating table. Once the new rating table has been downloaded to the TV, it remains in the TV until it is factory reset, and you can configure blocking based on the new ratings. New Region Rating Tables can have independent rating levels, or rating levels that interact in the same ways as the built-in US TV and MPAA Movie ratings. Tip(s) ● If your TV downloads a new Region Rating Table, you'll have to experiment with its settings to understand how to use it. Blocking based on Canadian English ratings Canadian-English language and third-language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Action Group on Violence on Television, or AGVOT. TV broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents don't want others to view based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity. The ratings are: ● C - Children under 8 years ● C8 - Children 8 years and older ● G - Generally suitable for all age groups ● PG - Parental guidance suggested for viewers under 14 years ● 14+ - Generally not suitable for viewers under 14 years ● 18+ - Generally not suitable for viewers under 18 years Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating. To block programs based on AGVOT ratings: 1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2 In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Canadian English ratings. 3 Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically blocked. 50 .English Blocking based on Canadian French ratings Canadian-French language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Regie du cinema du Quebec. TV broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents don't want others to view based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity. The ratings are: ● G - Generally suitable for all age groups ● 8+ - Viewers 8 years and older ● 13+ - Viewers 13 years and older ● 16+ - Viewers 16 years and older ● 18+ - Adults only Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating. To block programs based on Canadian-French ratings: 1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2 In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Canadian French ratings. 3 Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically blocked. Blocking unrated programs Some broadcast TV shows and movies do not have an assigned rating, and are considered to be "Unrated". Whether or not such programs contain content that is objectionable to you cannot be determined. However, you can choose to block such programs. To block all unrated broadcasts: 1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2 In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Block all unrated programs. 3 Highlight Unrated programs and press OK. When blocking is enabled, the adjacent padlock icon changes from unlocked to locked. Tip(s) ● Blocking programs that have not been assigned a rating does not block programs that specifically have been assigned a US TV rating of "None" (for example a broadcast of a local town council meeting). Programs that do not have an assigned rating display Rating NA (for "not applicable," meaning a rating is not needed). ● In the absence of other ratings for a program, the parental controls do not consider the MPAA US movie rating N/A (MPAA rating not applicable to this content) and NR (applicable content not rated by the MPAA) to be ratings. In these cases, the TV handles the program as though it is unrated, blocking the program if Unrated programs blocking is enabled.
