parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Parental control of TV shows.
3. Make sure the check box next to Enable parental controls is checked. If not, highlight it
and press OK.
Blocking based on US TV ratings
Most broadcast US TV shows—other than movies—contain rating data that enables parental
controls to block shows that parents don’t want others to view. The ratings are divided into two
groups that function independently:
Youth group – TV-Y, TV-Y7
Main group – TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA
Within each of these groups, the ratings interact such that if you block a particular level of
content, the TV also blocks all content with a higher rating. Conversely, if you unblock a
particular level of content, the TV also unblocks all content with a lower rating. For example, if
you block TV-PG programs, the TV also blocks TV-14 and TV-MA programs. If you
subsequently unblock TV-14 programs, TV-PG programs are also unblocked, but TV-MA
programs remain blocked.
Similarly, within the main group, content types can be individually blocked. For example, you
can block just coarse language in shows with a TV-PG rating. If you do, then the TV also blocks
shows with coarse language in the higher ratings (TV-14 and TV-MA). Subsequently unblocking
coarse language in TV-14 ratings does not unblock coarse language in TV-MA programs, but it
does unblock coarse language in TV-PG programs.
