Page 60Blocking unrated programsSome broadcast TV shows and movies are assigned a rating of “Unrated”. Whether or not suchprograms contain content that is objectionable to you cannot be determined. However, you can chooseto block such programs.To block all unrated broadcasts:1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter yourparental 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 iconchanges from unlocked to locked.Tip: Blocking programs that have been assigned a rating of “Unrated” does not block programs thathave no rating assigned to them (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 arating is not needed). Programs that have no assigned rating are considered “safe”; therefore, thereis no need to block them.What happens when a TV show is blocked?After you’ve set up parental controls, TV shows and movies can be blocked:• When you change channels and the new channel is playing a program whose rating exceedsyour settings.• When a new show comes on the channel you are watching and its rating exceeds your settings.When a program is blocked by parental control settings, the TV displays a blocked message:Whenever this blocked message appears, both the video and audio of the show are blocked, as well asprogram data that would normally appear in the area at the bottom of the screen.
