Congure parental controls

Parental controls enable you to control whether the members of your household can view certain kinds of broadcast

TV programs. When a program or feature is blocked, you can unblock it by entering a parental control PIN that only you

know.

: Parental controls block content from the TV tuner and from streaming opons, if any, on the Home screen

menu. Parental controls do not block content on other TV inputs or content from streaming channels you add to

your TV.

Creating a parental control PIN

The rst me you access the  screen, you must create a new parental control PIN. Thereaer, whenever

you want to change parental control sengs, unblock programming that has been blocked, change the PIN, or disable

parental controls, you must enter your parental control PIN.

: Your parental control PIN has nothing to do with your Roku PIN. You can make them the same if you want—

this is enrely your choice.

To create a new parental control PIN, from the  screen menu navigate to . The screen

displays a numeric keypad. Use the arrow buons and the OK buon 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.

: If you forget your parental control PIN, the only way to recover is to perform a factory reset opera-

on, as explained in “Factory reset everything” on page 61. Be sure to write it down in a safe place just in case.
