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.
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.
