Configure Parental Controls - Hisense Roku TV 50H4C Mode D'emploi

Configure parental controls

Parental controls enable you to control whether the members of your household can view certain kinds of broadcast TV
programs. When a program or feature is blocked, you can unblock it by entering a parental control PIN that only you know.
NOTE
• The Parental Control feature does not block streaming videos or content from inputs other than Antenna TV.
Creating a Parental Control PIN
The first time you access the Parental controls screen, you must create a new parental control PIN. Thereafter, whenever
you want to change parental control settings, unblock programming that has been blocked, change the PIN, or disable parental
controls, you must enter your parental control PIN.
Tip: Your parental control PIN has nothing to do with your Roku PIN. You can make them the same if you want—this is entirely
your choice.
To create a new parental control PIN, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > Parental controls. The screen
displays a numeric keypad. Use the arrow buttons and the [OK] button to enter a four digit code. Then, repeat the process to
enter the same PIN again, just to make sure you correctly entered the PIN you want to use.
• Important: If you forget your PIN, the only way to recover is to perform a factory reset operation, as explained in
Factory reset everything on page
Blocking Movie Store, TV Store, and News
One of the parental control options is to completely hide the entertainment options that are available directly on the Home
screen menu.
To hide Home screen entertainment options:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, highlight Home screen and then select or clear either of these options:
Hide "Movie Store and TV Store" – Removes the Movies Store and TV Store options from the Home screen menu.
Hide "News" – Removes the News option from the Home screen menu.
Tip: To use either of these options after 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 information embedded in the broadcast signal to determine whether to allow a program
to be displayed. Parents can configure parental controls to block broadcast TV programs that meet or exceed a specific rating,
so they cannot be viewed or heard unless the correct parental control PIN is entered.
Enabling parental control of TV shows
The first step in blocking TV shows is to enable parental control of TV shows.
This setting is provided separately to make it easier for you to turn parental control of TV shows on and off without disturbing
their settings. 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 settings are restored in a single operation.
To enable parental control of TV shows:
1. In the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > 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].
