3. Highlight Block 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.
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 PIN" on page 51.
1. Press OK to select Unblock and display a PIN pad.
