Blocking broadcast TV programs For broadcast TV, parental controls use information embedded in the broadcast signal to determine whether to allow a program to be displayed. Parents can configure parental controls to block broadcast TV programs that meet or exceed a specific rating, so they cannot be viewed or heard unless the correct parental control PIN is entered. Note: Rating standards differ by country. Enabling parental control of TV programs The first step in blocking TV programs is to enable parental control of TV programs. This setting is provided separately to make it easier for you to turn parental control of TV programs on and off without disturbing their settings. For example, your kids are going to summer camp for two weeks, and while they are gone, you don't want to have to deal with unblocking programs that you want to watch by entering your parental control PIN. All you need to do is clear Enable parental controls, and all TV programs are unblocked. When the kids return, select Enable parental controls again, and all of your parental control settings are restored in a single operation. To enable parental control of TV programs: 1. In 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 > Parental control of TV shows. 3. Make sure the check box next to Enable parental controls is checked. If not, highlight it and press OK. 130
