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 the 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 the 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 the TV, it remains in the 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.
Tip: If your TV downloads a new Region Rating Table, you’ll have to experiment with its settings
to understand how to use it.
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
