To block TV shows based on US television 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 > 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.

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.
