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.
