HD LED SMART TV USER MANUAL

Connections and setup

Connecting an antenna, cable, or satellite box

Tip: If you are using an antenna with a 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you need to use a to-75-ohm adapter (not provided) to adapt the twin-lead cable to a connection that is compatible with the TV’s antenna input.

Tip: If you receive your TV stations through a set top box from a cable or satellite TV provider, connect it to the TV using the best connection method available. From most to least desirable:

• HDMI® input – Digital HD and SD video
• AV input – analog SD video
• Antenna input – analog SD video using NTSC

Connecting external equipment with a composite AV video cable

If the best connection available on your device is AV or composite video output, connect it to the TV using a composite AV cable (not provided). Composite AV cables typically have three RCA-type plugs on each end, color coded as follows:

• Yellow – Video
• Red – Audio, right channel
• White or black – Audio, left channel

Connect each plug to the corresponding connector on the device and on the TV.

Note: Select models have an AV Input that looks like a headphone jack. Use the breakout cable (included) to adapt this input to the three RCA-type plugs on your composite cable.

Connecting external equipment with an HDMI® cable

If possible, connect your devices using HDMI® cables (not provided). They help to provide the best video quality and also carry audio signals, so that only one cable is needed. For better picture quality, we recommend that you use cables designated as High Speed HDMI® Cables.

Tip: You might need to configure the device to send its signal through its HDMI® connector.

Connecting headphones or analog sound bar

You can connect headphones or an analog sound bar (not provided) to the TV’s headphone jack.

Tip: Inserting a plug in the headphone jack disables the sound from the TV’s built-in speakers.

Warning: Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the lowest volume setting on your headphones that still lets you hear the sound.

Select models also have an audio line out connection that is not affected by TV volume or mute settings and does not disable the TV speakers. Use this connection when you want to use your amplifier or sound bar to control the TV volume. To turn off the TV’s built-in speakers, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio TV speakers and change the setting.

Connecting headphones to the Roku Enhanced Voice Remote

Select Roku TVs come with the Roku Enhanced Voice Remote. On these models, you can connect headphones to the jack on the left side of the remote.

Tip: Inserting a plug in the remote’s headphone jack disables the sound from the TV’s built-in speakers or attached receiver or sound bar. The volume and mute controls on the right side of the remote adjust the volume level of the connected headphones.

Warning: Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the lowest volume setting on your headphones that still lets you hear the sound. You might notice that connecting headphones to your remote shortens the remote’s battery life somewhat.

Connecting an AV receiver or digital sound bar

You can enjoy Dolby Audio™ multichannel sound from your TV if you connect a digital amplifier or sound bar (not provided) in either of two ways:

Digital optical audio out (S/PDIF) – Connect a TOSLINK optical cable (not provided) from the TV to the Optical input on your receiver or sound bar.

HDMI® ARC – Connect an HDMI® cable (not provided) from the HDMI (ARC) connector to the HDMI® input on your receiver or sound bar. This connection uses the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature of the HDMI® specification to output sound from the TV to a compatible device. To use this feature, you must configure the TV to enable HDMI® ARC, as explained in Enable HDMI® ARC.

Preparing for Internet connectivity

If you want to watch streaming content and take advantage of the cool features of your Roku TV, connect it to the Internet through a wireless modem/router or a wireless access point (not provided). The TV has a built-in wireless LAN adapter.

Note: The TV supports only its internal wireless network adapter—it does not support the use of a USB network adapter.

Select 4K models have wired in addition to wireless network connectivity. To use the wired network connection, connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable (not provided) from the jack on the back of your TV to your network router or switch. The wired connection supports both 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T Ethernet.

Note: Some streaming channels assign the button to a different function, meaning it will not open the Options menu. In these cases, use a different channel, such as The Roku Channel, to configure options. The selected settings remain active for all streaming channels.

Picture settings

To use the Picture settings menu, first press to display the Options menu. Then select Picture settings.

Picture settings menu options

• Picture mode – Provides picture presets for various viewing preferences. This setting duplicates the one on the Options menu. When you change the Picture mode, other picture settings adjust accordingly. For example, setting the Picture mode to Vivid sets Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, and other values to produce a very vibrant picture. Setting Picture mode to Movie changes the settings to produce a picture suitable for enjoying movies in a darkened room. If you make changes to the individual picture settings—for example, Contrast, or Sharpness—these settings are saved for the current input and the current picture mode. In this way, you can set HDMI 1 input’s Movie picture mode to use different settings than the HDMI 2 input’s Movie picture mode and Antenna TV’s Movie picture mode. Use Reset picture settings, described below, to return the input’s selected picture mode to its original values.
• Local dimming – Only on select models: Sets the amount of dimming applied to multiple areas of the screen’s backlight intensity. This setting can make dark areas darker without affecting the brightness of light areas.
• Dynamic contrast – Only on select models: Automatically adjusts the backlight level to achieve the optimum contrast and prevent excessive differences between light and dark areas of the screen.
• Micro contrast – Only on select models: Improves image contrast.
• Backlight - Adjusts the overall light intensity of the screen.
• Brightness – Adjusts the dark level of the picture.
• Contrast – Adjusts the white level of the picture.
• Sharpness – Adjusts the sharpness of edges in the picture.
• Color – Adjusts the saturation of colors in the picture. A setting of 0 removes all color and displays a black and white picture.
• Tint – Adjusts the color balance from green to red to obtain accurate colors in the picture.
• Color temperature – Adjusts the overall color tones in the picture from Normal to slightly more bluish (Cool) to slightly more reddish (Warm).
• Frame rate conversion – Only on select models. Each TV brand uses a different name for this option. Adjusts the amount of motion processing applied to the video signal. A higher setting results in more smoothing, but can cause undesirable picture artifacts in certain types of content. Each Picture mode has a different default setting.
• Film mode – Only on select models. Each TV brand uses a different name for this option. When enabled, this feature reduces “judder” that is often present when 24 frame-per-second movies are upscaled to 60Hz TV standards. Film mode is On by default in Movie and HDR Dark picture modes, and Off by default in other picture modes.
• Blur reduction – Only on select 120Hz models. Each TV brand uses a different name for this option. Reduces blur, especially for fast-moving images such as sports.
• Black frame insertion – Only on select models that also have the local dimming feature. Each TV brand uses a different name for this option. Reduces motion blur caused by the refresh rate of the screen. Enabling this feature inserts black frames between picture frames in a way that improves the clarity of fast moving objects. It provides an improved viewing experience for video games and sporting events, but reduces the brightness of the picture. You can choose settings of Low, Medium, High, or Off to achieve the desired picture quality.
• Game mode – Only on HDMI® and AV inputs: Controls whether Game mode is enabled. When On, the TV performs less image processing and has less input lag. When Off, the TV performs more image processing and has more input lag, which is less desirable for action games.
  • Only on select models: Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) detects when certain game consoles are connected to an HDMI input, and automatically configures the best settings for action games. When ALLM is active, the manual Game mode setting is not available.
  • Note: If you have paired Roku Wireless Speakers with your TV, enabling Game mode switches sound back to the internal TV speakers to avoid latency or lag in game play. Disabling Game mode switches sound back to the Roku Wireless Speakers.
• Reset picture settings – Returns all picture settings for the input’s currentlyselected Picture mode to their original values.

Tip: To dismiss the Picture settings menu, just wait a few seconds without pressing any buttons. Or press  again to dismiss the menu immediately.

Press to return to the Home screen. The new name and icon are now in effect

Remove unwanted tiles

It’s easy to remove unused TV inputs and unwanted channel or app tiles. For example, if you never use the HDMI 3 input, or if you don’t like the weather app you added from the Roku Channel Store, you can remove them from your Home screen.

Note: You also can remove the Antenna TV tile if you never use the TV tuner. But be aware that removing the Antenna TV tile also deletes the channel list. You’ll have to set up the TV tuner again next time you want to view Antenna TV. Instructions for setting up the TV tuner can be found in Setting up Antenna TV.

• To remove any tile, highlight the input tile in the Home screen, and then press to display a list of options. From the list of options, select Remove input. In the screen that follows, confirm you want to remove the input.
• Alternatively, to remove a TV input tile from the Home screen, navigate to Settings > TV inputs. On the TV inputs screen, select the input you want to remove, and then select Remove > Confirm. Then press to return to the Home screen.

Rearrange tiles

When you add a TV input tile, it’s added at the top of your Home screen. When you add a new streaming channel, it’s added at the bottom of your Home screen.

You can easily rearrange the order of the tiles on the Home screen to suit your viewing preferences. For example, you might want Antenna TV to be the first tile in your Home screen. But if you mostly watch one streaming channel, you might want its tile to be the first one on your Home screen.

1. From the Home screen, highlight one of the tiles you want to move.
2. Press to display a list of options for the type of tile you selected.
3. Select Move input or Move channel. The list of options disappears and the highlighted tile shows arrows indicating how it can be moved.

Note: A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels. Channel availability is subject to change and varies by country. Not all content is available in countries or regions where Roku® products are sold.

4. Use the arrow keys to move the highlighted tile to its new position. As you move the tile, it pushes other tiles out of its way.

5. Press OK to lock the tile into its new position.

6. Repeat these steps to move other tiles until you have arranged your Home screen to your liking.

Change themes

Only in connected mode, another way to customize your TV is to change its theme.The theme establishes the look and feel of the TV through colors, designs, and fonts. Some themes require payment.

To change the theme, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > Theme > Change theme. In the Themes screen, choose from the following options:

• In the My Themes section, highlight one of your themes, and then press OK to switch to that theme.
• In the All Themes section, highlight a new theme, and then press OK to preview and add it.

To change enable or disable Featured themes, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Theme > Custom settings, and then, press OK to set or clear the check box next to Enable featured themes. When Featured themes is enabled, the TV automatically switches to featured themes—like certain holiday-inspired themes —for a limited time whenever Roku makes them available, and then switches back to your selected theme when the featured theme expires. When off, the TV uses your selected theme.

Change screensaver

Only in connected mode, you can change what your TV displays after a period of inactivity.

To change the screensaver, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Screensaver > Change screensaver. In the Screensavers screen, choose from the following options:

• In the My Screensavers section, highlight one of your screensavers, and then press OK to switch to that preview, change settings, rate, and select that screensaver.
• In the All Screensavers section, highlight a new screensaver, and then press OK to add it.

To disable your screensaver, or to change the inactive time before it starts, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Screensaver > Change wait time. Select the desired option, and then press OK.

Edit Antenna TV channel lineup

When you set up the TV tuner as described in Setting up Antenna TV, the TV adds all the channels with good signals that it can detect in your area. It’s likely that you now have more channels than you want in your channel list.

To edit the channel lineup, from the Home screen, navigate to Settings > TV inputs > Antenna TV > Edit channel lineup. You’ll see a screen listing all of your channels.

Adjacent to the list of channels is a miniature TV screen playing the highlighted channel’s picture and sound.

Highlight each channel you want to hide, and then press OK to hide the channel.

Tip: If you need to see or hear the highlighted channel, wait a couple of seconds for the TV to start playing the channel’s picture and sound. Also note that if you’ve enabled parental controls and the program on the current channel is blocked, you won’t see a picture or hear sound while editing the channel lineup.

Note: Repeating the tuner channel scan unhides all hidden channels.

Configure power settings

Power on settings

Power on settings tell the TV what to do when you turn on the power. To configure the power on settings, from the Home screen, navigate to Settings > System > Power > Power on. Highlight the preferred power on location in the list, and then press OK.

Auto power savings

To help you save energy, your TV can automatically turn itself off after a period of inactivity or a period during which no signal has been detected. It is factoryconfigured to do both of these things, but you can change these settings if needed.

To configure automatic power off, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > System > Power > Auto power savings. In the Power settings screen, highlight the following options and press OK to turn them on or off:

• Reduce power after 15 minutes – If no video or audio activity and no user interaction occur for 15 minutes, the TV automatically turns off the screen and sound.
• Turn off after 4 hours – If no video or audio activity and no user interaction occur for 4 hours, the TV goes into standby mode.

Standby LED On/Off

Normally, the status indicator is lit whenever the TV is in standby mode. If you prefer the status indicator to not be lit in standby mode, you can turn it off. To do so, from the Home screen, navigate to Settings > System > Power > Standby LED, and then select Off.

After making this change, the status indicator still performs all other indication functions.

Fast TV start

Only in connected mode on TV models that are not Energy Star certified, you can enable Fast TV start. As you might expect, Fast TV start lets you start watching your

TV almost instantly after turning it on. But it also enables other convenient features, such as listening to certain music channels with the TV screen off and, only in the United States, the ability to turn on and control your TV using voice commands.

Be aware that enabling Fast TV start makes your TV use somewhat more power when it is powered off to standby mode.

Configure accessibility (U.S. only)

Captions mode

The Captions mode settings specify when closed captions appear. Access caption settings from the Home screen by selecting Settings > Accessibility > Captions mode. At this point, you can choose among the following options:

• Off – No captions appear.
• On always– Captions appear whenever they are available from the program source.
• On replay– Captions appear only when you use the replay feature, and only when you are watching a streaming program that supports instant replay, watching a video through the Roku or USB media player, or watching a TV channel after enabling Live TV Pause.
• On mute – Captions appear only when the TV is muted.

Tips:

• You can change the captions mode while watching a program. Press  to display the Options menu, and then select Closed captioning.
• Some streaming channels require you to enable captions through a setting within their channel even though you have turned on captions in the TV settings.

Note: Once enabled, the selected captions mode applies to all inputs that support captions and remains enabled until you turn it off

Captions preferred language

The Captions preferred language setting lets you select the language in which you want closed captioning to appear, when that language is available. If your preferred language is not available, then captioning reverts to the default language for the program, which usually is English.

• Highlight the language you prefer, and then press OK to select it.

Captions style

The Captions style settings let you control how closed captions look when displayed on your TV. Access caption style settings from the Home screen by selecting Settings > Accessibility > Captions style

• Text style – Choose from a list of fonts. As you move the highlight to each font, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.
• Text edge effect – Choose from a list of edge effect styles, such as raised, depressed, and various shadows. As you move the highlight to each effect, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.
• Text size – Choose from a list of sizes. As you move the highlight to each size, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.
• Text color - Choose from a list of colors for the text. As you move the highlight to each color, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.
• Text opacity - Choose from a list of opacity settings for the text. This setting determines how much the area behind the text shows through the text. A value of 100% blocks all of the content behind the text. As you move the highlight to each setting, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.
• Background color - Choose from a list of colors for the background area behind the text. As you move the highlight to each color, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel. Note that you won’t see any change unless you set the Background opacity to a value other than Off.
• Background opacity - Choose from a list of opacity settings for the background of the caption. This setting determines how much the area behind the caption background shows through the background. A value of 100% blocks all of the content behind the background. As you move the highlight to each setting, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.
• Window color - Choose from a list of colors for the window rectangle surrounding the entire caption. As you move the highlight to each color, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel. Note that you won’t see any change unless you set the Window opacity to a value other than Default or Off.
• Window opacity - Choose from a list of opacity settings for the window rectangle surrounding the entire caption. This setting determines how much the area behind the caption window shows through the window. A value of blocks all of the content behind the window. As you move the highlight to each setting, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.

Audio Guide settings

Audio Guide settings help users who are blind or visually impaired to configure the text-to-speech reader, enabling them to operate their TV more easily. Audio Guide uses voice prompts that speak volume and channel changes, menu options, and setting changes. Access Audio Guide settings from the Home screen by navigating to Settings > Accessibility

Configure 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.

Note: Parental controls block content from the TV tuner and from streaming options, 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 first time you access the Parental controls screen, you must create a new parental control PIN. Thereafter, whenever you want to change parental control settings, unblock programming that has been blocked, change the PIN, or disable parental controls, you must enter your parental control PIN.

Tip: Your parental control PIN has nothing to do with your Roku account PIN. You can make them the same if you want—this is entirely your choice.

To create a new parental control PIN, from the Home screen menu navigate to

Settings > Parental controls. The screen displays a numeric keypad. Use the arrow keys and then press OK 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.

Important: If you forget your parental control PIN, the only way to recover is to perform a factory reset operation, as explained in Factory reset everything. Be sure to write it down in a safe place just in case.

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.
3. Make sure the check box next to Enable parental controls is checked. If not, highlight it and press OK.

Blocking based on US TV ratings

Most broadcast US TV shows—other than movies—contain rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents don’t want others to view. The ratings are divided into two groups that function independently:

• Youth group – TV-Y, TV-Y7
• Main group – TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA

Within each of these groups, the ratings interact such that if you block a particular level of content, the TV also blocks all content with a higher rating. Conversely, if you unblock a particular level of content, the TV also unblocks all content with a lower rating. For example, if you block TV-PG programs, the TV also blocks TV-14 and TVMA programs. If you subsequently unblock TV-14 programs, TV-PG programs are also unblocked, but TV-MA programs remain blocked.

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

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 nowobsolete 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

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
• 18+ Generally not suitable for viewers under 18 years

Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating.

To block programs based on AGVOT 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 > Canadian English 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 Canadian French ratings

Canadian-French language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by Québec’s Ministry of Culture and Communications. 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:

• G – Generally suitable for all age groups
• 8+ Viewers 8 years and older
• 13+ Viewers 13 years and older
• 16+ Viewers 16 years and older
• 18+ Adults only

Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating.

To block programs based on Canadian-French 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 > Canadian French 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 unrated programs

Some broadcast TV shows and movies do not have an assigned rating, and are considered to be “Unrated”. Whether or not such programs contain content that is objectionable to you cannot be determined. However, you can choose to block such programs.

To block all unrated broadcasts:

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 > Block all unrated programs.
3. Highlight Unrated programs and press OK. When blocking is enabled, the adjacent padlock icon changes from unlocked to locked.

Tip: Blocking programs that have not been assigned a rating does not block programs that specifically have been assigned a US TV rating of “None” (for example a broadcast of a local town council meeting). Programs that do not have an assigned rating display Rating NA (for “not applicable,” meaning a rating is not needed).

In the absence of other ratings for a program, the parental controls do not consider the MPAA US movie rating N/A (MPAA rating not applicable to this content) and NR applicable content not rated by the MPAA) to be ratings. In these cases, the TV handles the program as though it is unrated, blocking the program if Unrated programs blocking is enabled

TV show is blocked

When a program is blocked by parental control settings, the TV displays a blocked message:

1. Press OK to select Unblock and display a PIN pad.

2. Use the arrow keys to enter your parental control PIN code, and then press OK to select Unblock everything.

After unblocking shows that have been blocked, all blocking is disabled for two hours or until you turn off the TV.

Changing the parental control PIN

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 Change PIN.
3. Move the highlight into the adjacent keypad, and then use the arrow keys and then press OK 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.

Resetting parental controls

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 Reset parental controls.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to confirm that you want to erase all parental control settings.

Tip: Resetting parental controls also erases your parental control PIN.
