To block TV shows based on US television 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 > TV ratings. Choose among the following settings: • Entire ratings - Highlight the rating you want to block, and then navigate to the right and select the first option that blocks the entire rating level (and all higher rating levels). • Individual content types - Highlight the rating that contains the content type you want to block, and then select the content types you want to block from among those listed. Remember that blocking a content type in one rating blocks the equivalent content type in all higher rating levels. Blocking based on US movie ratings Most movies in the US are rated by the Motion Picture Association of America, or MPAA, so the ratings are known as MPAA ratings. TV broadcast signals carry movie rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents don't want others to see. The ratings are: • G - General audiences • PG - Parental guidance suggested • PG-13 - Parents strongly cautioned for children age 13 or younger • R - Restricted • NC-17 - Not for age 17 or younger Unlike US TV ratings, there are no individual content types within the ratings. But like TV ratings, blocking movies with a particular rating also blocks movies with a higher rating, and unblocking movies with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating. Tip: Blocking movies with an NC-17 rating also blocks programs with the now-obsolete X rating, which can still occur in the program data of older movies. 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. 93

Blocking based on US movie ratings
Most movies in the US are rated by the Motion Picture Association of America, or MPAA, so the
ratings are known as MPAA ratings. TV broadcast signals carry movie rating data that enables
parental controls to block shows that parents don’t want others to see. The ratings are:
•
G – General audiences
•
PG – Parental guidance suggested
•
PG-13 – Parents strongly cautioned for children age 13 or younger
•
R – Restricted
•
NC-17 – Not for age 17 or younger
Unlike US TV ratings, there are no individual content types within the ratings. But like TV
ratings, blocking movies with a particular rating also blocks movies with a higher rating, and
unblocking movies with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating.
Tip
:
Blocking movies with an NC-17 rating also blocks programs with the now-obsolete X
rating, which can still occur in the program data of older movies.
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.

In the
Parental controls
