Blocking based on Other ratings
Your TV can block programs having ratings that had not been defined when your TV was manufactured. It does this by
detecting a new Rating Region Table in a program and then downloading the new table and displaying its rating in the
Parental controls.
When your TV downloads a new Rating Region Table, it adds a new option to the list of rating types:
Other ratings
. If
you see this option in the
Parental controls
screen, you have tuned to a station that has implemented a new rating table.
Once the new rating table has been downloaded to your TV, it remains in your TV until it is factory reset, and you can
configure blocking based on the new ratings.
New Region Rating Tables can have independent rating levels, or rating levels that interact in the same ways as the
built-in US TV and MPAA Movie ratings.
Blocking based on Canadian English ratings
Canadian-English language and third-language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Action Group
on Violence on Television, or AGVOT. TV broadcast signals carry rating 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
ratings are:
• C—Children under 8 years
• C8—Children 8 years and older
• G—Generally suitable for all age groups
• G—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 particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a
particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating.
To block programs based on AGVOT ratings:
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

3
Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are
automatically blocked.
Blocking based on Canadian French ratings
Canadian-French language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Régie du cinéma du Québec. TV
broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents don't want others to view

• G - Generally suitable for all age groups
• 8+—Viewers 8 years and older
• 13+—Viewers 13 years and older
• 16+—Viewers 16 years and older
• 18+—Adults only
Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a
particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating.
