Blocking and Unblocking Content by Rating

A channel may sometimes broadcast programs that are meant for children, and at other times broadcast programs that are meant for mature audiences. You may not want to block the channel completely using a channel lock, but you may wish to block certain programs from being viewed.

When this is the case, you can use the TV’s Rating Block feature to block content based on its rating.

For a list of content ratings and their definitions, visit www.tvguidelines.org.

To block or unblock content by its rating:

1.From the PARENTAL CONTROLS menu, highlight the content type you want to adjust and press OK:

USA TV - USA television program broadcasts. USA Movie - USA movie broadcasts.

Canadian English - Canadian English television program broadcasts.

Canadian French - Canadian French television program broadcasts.

2.For each rating type you want to block or unblock, use the Up/Down and Left/Right Arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the rating type and press OK.

3.When the rating type is blocked, the Lock icon appears locked. Content with this rating and all higher ratings cannot be viewed.

4.When the rating type is unblocked, the Lock icon appears unlocked. Content with this rating and all lower ratings can be viewed.

If you want to block all unrated content, highlight Block Unrated Shows and use the Arrow buttons on the remote to select On.

5.When you are finished adjusting the rating level blocks, press the EXIT button on the remote.

Changing the Parental Control PIN

If you use the parental controls, you should change the PIN to prevent children from accessing inappropriate material.

To change the parental control PIN:

1.From the PARENTAL CONTROLS menu, highlight Change PIN and press OK. The CHANGE PIN menu is displayed.

2.In the New PIN field, use the Number Pad on the remote to enter your new 4-digit parental control PIN.

3.In the Confirm PIN field, use the Number Pad on the remote to re-enter your new 4-digit parental control PIN.

4.Write down your new parental control PIN and save it in a secure location.

5.Press the EXIT button on the remote.

Resetting the Content Locks

To reset the content locks to the factory-default settings:

1.From the PARENTAL CONTROLS menu, highlight RESET LOCKS and press OK. The TV displays,“Are you sure you want to RESET ALL LOCKS SETTINGS to the factory defaults?”

2.Highlight Yes and press OK.
