Configuring 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(s)
●
Parental controls block content from the TV tuner and from streaming
options, if any, on the Home screen menu. Parental controls do not block
content on other TV inputs or content from streaming channels you add to
your 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(s)
●
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 keys and then press
OK
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 parental control PIN, the only way to
recover is to perform a factory reset operation, as explained in
. Be sure to write it down in a
safe place just in case.
