Blocking based on Other ratings
Your TV can block programs having ratings that had not been defined when your TV was manufactured. It does this by
detecting a new Rating Region Table in a program and then downloading the new table and displaying its rating in the
Parental controls.
When your TV downloads a new Rating Region Table, it adds a new option to the list of rating types: Other ratings. If
you see this option in the Parental controls screen, you have tuned to a station that has implemented a new rating table.
Once the new rating table has been downloaded to your TV, it remains in your TV until it is factory reset, and you can
configure blocking based on the new ratings.
New Region Rating Tables can have independent rating levels, or rating levels that interact in the same ways as the
built-in US TV and MPAA Movie ratings.
Tip
If your TV downloads a new Region Rating Table, you'll have to experiment with its
settings to understand how to use it.
Blocking based on Canadian English ratings
Canadian-English language and third-language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Action Group
on Violence on Television, or AGVOT. TV broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block
shows that parents don't want others to view based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity. The
ratings are:
• C—Children under 8 years
• C8—Children 8 years and older
• G—Generally suitable for all age groups
• G—Parental guidance suggested for viewers under 14 years
• 14+—Generally not suitable for viewers under 14 years
• 18+—Generally not suitable for viewers under 18 years
Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a
particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating.
To block programs based on AGVOT 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>Canadian English ratings.
3 Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are
automatically blocked.
