What Happens When A Tv Show Is Blocked; Changing The Parental Control Pin; Resetting Parental Controls - Sharp ROKU LC-43LB371U User Manual

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, your Sharp Roku 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
1 Press OK to select Unblock and display a PIN pad.
2 Use the arrow buttons to enter your PIN code, and then press OK to select Unblock everything.
After unblocking shows that have been blocked, all blocking is disabled for two hours or until you turn off your Sharp Roku
TV.

Changing the parental control PIN

To change your parental control PIN:
1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your PIN.
2 In the Parental controls screen, highlight Change PIN.
3 Move the highlight into the adjacent keypad, and then 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.

Resetting parental controls

So now your kids have grown up and gone away to college, and you no longer want to deal with blocked programs.

1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your PIN.
2 In the Parental controls screen, highlight Reset parental controls.
3 Follow the instructions on the screen to confirm that you want to erase all parental control settings.

Resetting parental controls also erases your parental control PIN.
