What Happens When A Tv Show Is Blocked - Hitachi Roku TV 50R8 Owner's Manual

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).

What happens when a TV show is blocked?

After you've set up parental controls, TV shows and movies can be blocked:
• When you change channels and the new channel is playing a program whose rating exceeds your settings.
• When a new show comes on the channel you are watching and its rating exceeds your settings.
When a program is blocked by parental control settings, the TV displays a blocked message:
Whenever this blocked message appears, both the video and audio of the show are blocked, as well as program data that
would normally appear in the area at the bottom of the screen.
To watch the blocked program, you need to know the PIN code defined when you enabled parental controls, as explained
in "Creating a parental control
