Locking the set / Parental Controls

Understanding Parental Controls
The Parental Controls feature receives and processes the data that contains program content advice sent by the
broadcasters or other program providers. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with Parental Controls can
respond to the content advice and block any program content that may be considered unsuitable (such as offensive
language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great feature for censoring the type of programs children watch.
In the Parental Controls section you'll learn how to block channels and programs that are not rated, are unrated, or
have no rating. You will also find out how to turn these blocking features ON or OFF. Below brief explanations are
given of some terms and ratings relate to the Parental Controls feature.
Parental Controls offers a variety of Blocking Options:
BLOCKING
The BLOCKING control can be thought of as the 'master switch' for Parental Controls. This control implements the
settings you have selected in order to block programs in accordance with movie ratings or TV ratings, or to block
programs that have no rating or are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is OFF, the blocking or censoring of
programs is disabled. When the BLOCKING control is ON, programs will be blocked in accordance with the settings
you have chosen.
You can also block individual channels or block programs on the basis of the ratings of the MPAA and TV
broadcasters.
