Blocking based on US TV ratings 
Most broadcast US TV shows—other than movies—contain rating data that enables parental controls to 
block shows that parents don’t want others to view. The ratings are divided into two groups that 
function independently: 
 Youth group – TV-Y, TV-Y7 
 Main group – TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA 
Within each of these groups, the ratings interact such that if you block a particular level of content, the 
TV also blocks all content with a higher rating....

Unlike US TV ratings, there are no individual content types within the ratings. But like TV ratings, 
blocking movies with a particular rating also blocks movies with a higher rating, and unblocking movies 
with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating. 
Tip: Blocking movies with an NC-17 rating also blocks programs with the now-obsolete X rating, which 
can still occur in the program data of older movies. 
To block movies based on MPAA ratings:  
1. From the Home...

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 been assigned a rating of “Unrated” does not block programs that 
have 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 a rating is not 
needed).
