Blocking based on Other ratings

Your TV can block programs having rangs that had not been dened when the TV was manufactured. It does this by

detecng a new Rang Region Table in a program and then downloading the new table and displaying its rang in the

Parental controls.

When the TV downloads a new Rang Region Table, it adds a new opon to the list of rang types: . If you

see this opon in the  screen, you have tuned to a staon that has implemented a new rang table.

Once the new rang table has been downloaded to the TV, it remains in the TV unl it is factory reset, and you can con-

gure blocking based on the new rangs.

New Region Rang Tables can have independent rang levels, or rang levels that interact in the same ways as the built-

in US TV and MPAA Movie rangs.

: If your TV downloads a new Region Rang Table, you’ll have to experiment with its sengs 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 Acon Group on

Violence on Television, or AGVOT. TV broadcast signals carry rang 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 rangs 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 parcular rang also blocks content with a higher rang, and unblocking content with a parcu-

lar rang also unblocks movies with a lower rang.

To block programs based on AGVOT rangs:

1. From the  screen menu, navigate to , and then enter your parental control PIN.

2. In the  screen, navigate to .

3. Select the rang level you want to block. You need only select one rang level, and all higher levels are automa-

cally blocked.
