Blocking unrated programs

Page 147 highlights

Blocking unrated programs Some broadcast TV programs and movies do not have an assigned rating, and are considered to be "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 not been assigned a rating does not block programs that specifically have been assigned a US TV rating of "None" (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). In the absence of other ratings for a program, the parental controls do not consider the MPAA US movie rating N/A (MPAA rating not applicable to this content) and NR (applicable content not rated by the MPAA) to be ratings. In these cases, the TV handles the program as though it is unrated, blocking the program if Unrated programs blocking is enabled. 135

Blocking unrated programs
Some broadcast TV programs and movies do not have an assigned rating, and are
considered to be “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 not been assigned a rating does not block programs
that specifically have been assigned a US TV rating of “None” (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).
In the absence of other ratings for a program, the parental controls do not consider
the MPAA US movie rating
N/A
(MPAA rating not applicable to this content) and
NR
(applicable content not rated by the MPAA) to be ratings. In these cases, the TV
handles the program as though it is unrated, blocking the program if
Unrated programs
blocking is enabled.
