Blocking Movie Store, TV Store, and News (U.S. models only)
One of the parental control options is to completely hide the entertainment options that
are available directly on the Home screen menu.
To hide Home screen entertainment options:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then
enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, highlight Home screen and then select or clear
either of these options:
• Hide “Movie Store and TV Store” – Removes the Movie Store and TV Store
options from the Home screen menu.
• Hide “News” – Removes the News option from the Home screen menu.
Tip: To use either of these options after you’ve hidden them, you must return to
this screen and remove the check mark from the corresponding Hide command.
Blocking Broadcast TV shows
For broadcast TV, parental controls use information embedded in the broadcast signal to
determine whether to allow a program to be displayed. Parents can configure parental
controls to block broadcast TV programs that meet or exceed a specific rating, so they
cannot be viewed or heard unless the correct parental control PIN is entered.
Note: Rating standards differ by country.
Enabling parental control of TV shows
The first step in blocking TV shows is to enable parental control of TV shows.
This setting is provided separately to make it easier for you to turn parental control of TV
shows on and off without disturbing their settings. For example, your kids are going to
summer camp for two weeks, and while they are gone, you don’t want to have to deal
with unblocking shows that you want to watch by entering your parental control PIN. All
you need to do is clear Enable parental controls, and all TV shows are unblocked. When
the kids return, select Enable parental controls again, and all of your parental control
settings are restored in a single operation.
To enable parental control of TV shows:
1. In 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 > Parental control of TV
shows.
