Blocking Based On Us Movie Ratings - Philips 42PFL4765/F8 User Manual

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. Conversely, if you unblock a particular level of content,
the TV also unblocks all content with a lower rating. For example, if you block TV‐PG programs, the TV
also blocks TV‐14 and TV‐MA programs. If you subsequently unblock TV‐14 programs, TV‐PG programs
are also unblocked, but TV‐MA programs remain blocked.
Similarly, within the main group, content types can be individually blocked. For example, you can block
just coarse language in programs with a TV‐PG rating. If you do, then the TV also blocks programs with
coarse language in the higher ratings (TV‐14 and TV‐MA). Subsequently unblocking coarse language in
TV‐14 ratings does not unblock coarse language in TV‐MA programs, but it does unblock coarse
language in TV‐PG programs.
To block TV programs based on US television 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 TV tuner > TV ratings . Choose among the following
settings:

Entire ratings – Highlight the rating you want to block, and then navigate to the right and
select the first option that blocks the entire rating level (and all higher rating levels).

Individual content types – Highlight the rating that contains the content type you want to
block, and then select the content types you want to block from among those listed.
Remember that blocking a content type in one rating blocks the equivalent content type in
all higher rating levels.

Blocking based on US movie ratings

Most movies in the US are rated by the Motion Picture Association of America, or MPAA, so the ratings
are known as MPAA ratings. TV broadcast signals carry movie rating data that enables parental controls
to block programs that parents don't want others to see. The ratings are:

G – General audiences

PG – Parental guidance suggested
