Parental Controls
Today's fast paced digital world means greater access to larger and larger pools of information. Everyone's reach and access to information and media grows daily, including your children. It can be daunting to keep track of everything your child does online. Parental Controls can help you keep track of what your child is doing, as well as guide them to what you consider safe and best, so they can grow into responsible adults.
What Parental Controls Are Not
It is vitally important to understand what all Parental Controls can't do, first, to make sure there's no false expectations or ideas on what these technologies will provide.
What Parental Controls Can Help With
There are areas where Parental Controls are great tools to help you in guiding your child to make better choices.
The TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board created the TV Ratings, or the TV Parental Guidelines, to help parents determine if a program is suitable for their child to watch by outlining the show’s target audience and possible content.
The TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board is a single group, and only provides opinions on content. They are there to help give you an overview of the themes present in a television program, not make decisions what is best for your child.
These ratings along with content descriptors appear in the top left corner of the TV screen during the first 15 seconds of each TV program and, on some TV channels, after every commercial break.
Rating Level

Content Descriptor
- FV - Fantasy Violence (exclusive to the TV-Y7 rating)
- D - Sexually Suggestive Dialogue (exclusive to the TV-PG and TV-14 ratings)
- L - Course or Crude Language
- S - Sexual Situations
- V - Violence

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) created the Film Ratings to help parents determine if a film is suitable for their child to watch. Ratings are determined by the Classification and Ratings Administration (CARA), via a board comprised of an independent group of parents.
The MPAA is a single group, and only provides opinions on content. They are there to help give you an overview of the themes present in a television program, not make decisions what is best for your child.
These ratings appear on all advertising materials for films, such as posters, movie trailers or online ads, on home video titles, such as DVD and Blu-Ray covers, and are listed in theaters and online streaming services when films are released.
Rating Badge
A film rating badge shows the following information:
- Rating Level on the left - indicates the films level of content so parents can decide whether the movie is suitable for their children.
- Rating Definition at the bottom - provides a more detailed explanation to parents of what the specific rating means.
- Rating Descriptors on the right - this language is unique to each film to convey the elements that caused it to receive its rating.

The Parental Control PIN on your Xfinity X1 cable system is available to make it more difficult for your child to exit Kids Zone on their own. Instead, they would need your PIN to do so.
To Set a Parental Control PIN
- Press the Xfinity button on your remote.
- Select the Settings gear on the far right.
- Select Parental Controls.
- Select Parental Control PIN.
- Using the number pad on your remote, enter a four-digit PIN that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
Don't use a street address, birthdate, or phone number. Your children will most likely know this information and try to guess this PIN based upon numbers like that.
- Enter your PIN again to verify it's entered correctly.
- Press the Xfinity button on your remote.
- Select On Demand.
- Select Kids at top, then Kids Zone from the list.
- Press the Xfinity button on your remote.
- Select Exit in the top-left corner.
- If you have one set, enter your PIN to exit.
