Blocking based on US TV ratings Most broadcast US TV programs-other than movies-contain rating data that enables parental controls to block programs that parents don't want others to view. The ratings are divided into two groups that function independently: • Youth group - TV-Y, TV-Y7 • Main group - TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA Within each of these groups, the ratings interact such that if you block a particular level of content, the TV also blocks all content with a higher rating. Conversely, if you unblock a particular level of content, the TV also unblocks all content with a lower rating. For example, if you block TV-PG programs, the TV also blocks TV-14 and TVMA programs. If you subsequently unblock TV-14 programs, TV-PG programs are also unblocked, but TV-MA programs remain blocked. Similarly, within the main group, content types can be individually blocked. For example, you can block just coarse language in programs with a TV-PG rating. If you do, then the TV also blocks programs with coarse language in the higher ratings (TV14 and TV-MA). Subsequently unblocking coarse language in TV-14 ratings does not unblock coarse language in TV-MA programs, but it does unblock coarse language in TV-PG programs. To block TV programs 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 131
