NS-32DR420CA16/ NS-55DR420CA16 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 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 Insignia Roku TV can block programs having ratings that had not been defined when your Insignia Roku 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 your Insignia Roku 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 your Insignia Roku TV, it remains in your Insignia Roku 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 If your Insignia Roku 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 • G-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 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. www.insigniaproducts.com 57
