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.
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
