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
