2 In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > TV ratings. Choose among the following settings:
• Entire ratings—Highlight the rating you want to block, and then navigate to the right and select the first option
that blocks the entire rating level (and all higher rating levels).
• Individual content types—Highlight the rating that contains the content type you want to block, and then select
the content types you want to block from among those listed. Remember that blocking a content type in one
rating blocks the equivalent content type in all higher rating levels.
Blocking based on US movie ratings
Most movies in the US are rated by the Motion Picture Association of America, or MPAA, so the ratings are known as
MPAA ratings. TV broadcast signals carry movie rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents
don't want others to see. The ratings are:
• G—General audiences
• PG—Parental guidance suggested
• PG-13—Parents strongly cautioned for children age 13 or younger
• R—Restricted
• NC-17—Not for age 17 or younger
Unlike US TV ratings, there are no individual content types within the ratings. But like TV ratings, blocking movies with a
particular rating also blocks movies with a higher rating, and unblocking movies with a particular rating also unblocks
movies with a lower rating.
To block movies based on MPAA 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 > Movie ratings.
3 Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are
automatically blocked.
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.
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
• PG—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.
Tip
Blocking movies with an NC-17 rating also blocks programs with the now-obsolete X
rating, which can still occur in the program data of older movies.
Tip
If your TV downloads a new Region Rating Table, you'll have to experiment with its
settings to understand how to use it.
