Blocking based on Other ratings
Your TV can block programs having ratings that had not been defined when the 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 the 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 the TV, it remains in the 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.
Tip
:
If your TV downloads a new Region Rating Table, you’ll have to experiment with
its settings to understand how to use it.
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
