LC-32LB481U / LC-43LB481U / LC-50LB481U 32" / 43" / 50" Full HD LED 1080p Sharp Roku TV 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 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. Blocking based on Canadian French ratings Canadian-French language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Régie du cinéma du Québec. 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 are assigned a rating of "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 Blocking programs that have been assigned a rating of "Unrated" does not block programs that have no rating assigned to them (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). Programs that have no assigned rating are considered "safe"; therefore, there is no need to block them. 64
