Audio Guide Settings; Configure Parental Controls; Creating A Parental Control Pin - Hitachi Roku TV 50R8 Owner's Manual

Audio Guide settings

On TVs sold in the United States, the Audio Guide settings help users who are blind or visually impaired to configure the
text-to-speech reader, enabling them to operate their TV more easily. The Audio Guide uses voice prompts that speak
volume and channel changes, menu options, and setting changes. Access Audio Guide settings from the Home screen by
navigating to Settings > Accessibility, and then select from the following options in the Audio Guide section
• Audio Guide – Turn the Audio Guide on or off.
• Speech rate – Select one of four speeds at which to hear spoken guide information: Slow, Normal, Fast, or Very
Fast.
• Volume – Select the volume at which to hear spoken guide information, relative to the main TV volume
• Shortcut – Enable or disable the shortcut feature. When enabled (the default), pressing the Option button 
four times in quick succession enables or disables the Audio Guide.

Configure parental controls

Parental controls enable you to control whether the members of your household can view certain kinds of broadcast
TV programs. When a program or feature is blocked, you can unblock it by entering a parental control PIN that only you
know.
Note: Parental controls block content from the TV tuner and from streaming options, if any, on the Home screen
menu. Parental controls do not block content on other TV inputs or content from streaming channels you add to
your TV.

Creating a parental control PIN

The first time you access the Parental controls screen, you must create a new parental control PIN. Thereafter, whenever
you want to change parental control settings, unblock programming that has been blocked, change the PIN, or disable
parental controls, you must enter your parental control PIN.
Tip: Your parental control PIN has nothing to do with your Roku PIN. You can make them the same if you want—
this is entirely your choice.
To create a new parental control PIN, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > Parental controls. The screen
displays a numeric keypad. Use the arrow buttons and the OK button to enter a four digit code. Then repeat the process
to enter the same PIN again, just to make sure you correctly entered the PIN you want to use.
Important: If you forget your parental control PIN, the only way to recover is to perform a factory reset opera-
tion, as explained in "Factory reset everything" on page 62. Be sure to write it down in a safe place just in case.
