Blocking Movie Store, TV Store, and News (US TV models only)
One of the parental control opons is to completely hide the entertainment opons that are available directly on the
Home screen menu of Roku TVs.
To hide Home screen entertainment opons:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Sengs > Parental controls, and then enter your PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, highlight Home screen and then select or clear either of these opons:
• Hide “Movie Store and TV Store” – Removes the Movie Store and TV Store opons from the Home
screen menu.
• Hide “News” – Removes the News opon from the Home screen menu.
• Tip: To use either of these opons aer you’ve hidden them, you must return to this screen and remove
the check mark from the corresponding Hide command.
Blocking Broadcast TV shows
For broadcast TV, parental controls use informaon embedded in the broadcast signal to determine whether to allow
a program to be displayed. Parents can congure parental controls to block broadcast TV programs that meet or
exceed a specic rang, so they cannot be viewed or heard unless the correct parental control PIN is entered.
Enabling parental control of TV shows
The rst step in blocking TV shows is to enable parental control of TV shows.
This seng is provided separately to make it easier for you to turn parental control of TV shows on and o without
disturbing their sengs. For example, your kids are going to summer camp for two weeks, and while they are gone,
you don’t want to have to deal with unblocking shows that you want to watch by entering your PIN. All you need to
do is clear Enable parental controls, and all TV shows are unblocked. When the kids return, select Enable parental
controls again, and all of your parental control sengs are restored in a single operaon.
To enable parental control of TV shows:
1. In the Home screen menu, navigate to Sengs > Parental controls, and then enter your PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Parental control of TV shows.
3. Make sure the check box next to Enable parental controls is checked. If not, highlight it and press OK.
Blocking based on US TV ratings
Most broadcast US TV shows—other than movies—contain rang data that enables parental controls to block shows
that parents don’t want others to view. The rangs are divided into two groups that funcon independently:
• Youth group – TV-Y, TV-Y7
