Crosley C42FHDHB120 Instruction Manual page 21

If used, this optional feature can "block" undesirable programming from appearing on the TV. Parental Control offers the user a wide variety of options
and settings that restrict or "block" the programming that can appear on the TV. Parental control allows the user the capability of defining which program
rating they consider accept-able, to the younger or more sensitive viewer. It can be preset and turned either on or off by the user who specifies the
secret 4-number code, the password. The number of hours blocked are specified. General audience and children viewer blocks should both be
programs into the TV's memory. Viewer ratings are specified for both TV and the motion picture industry; both rating systems should be used, for
complete coverage.
The ratings are based on the ages of children.
Overview
To insure complete coverage for all TV programs, (movies and regular TV shows) choose a rating for MPAA, from the selections below. And choose
ratings from the TV Parental Guidelines Rating System below, using the Age Block option for General Audiences, and for Children. In addition
to those, you may wish to add additional restrictions from the Content Block menu. See the Parental Control menu, and submenus example below.
Things to Consider before Setting Up Parental Control
Determine which rating you consider acceptable to the viewer. (For example, if you choose TV-PG, all more restrictive ratings will be automatically
blocked; the viewer will not be able to see: TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA rated programming.)
Do you want to block the auxiliary video source entirely? (Blocks the signal sent by the equipment, such as a VCR, connected to the TV Audio/Video
input jacks) Or leave unblocked, then choose allowable ratings. Block program "Content" based on individual parameters such as: Strong Dialog,
Bad Language, Sex Scenes, Violence Scenes, or Fantasy Violence Scenes; in the Content Blk option.
Select a secret password; in the Set Password option. Use the number keys on the remote. Don't forget the password, it is the only way you can
access the Parental Control menu and change rating selections, or turn Parental Control off.
Do you want Parental Control to be active all the time? If not, you can turn it on or off with the Lock On/Off option.
* You can set different Parental Control viewing restrictions for general audiences and for children both can be active at the same time.
* Simply specifying one content block such as Sex Scenes, will not automatically block another content in the programs from appearing.
* Even if you choose to leave the Aux inputs unblocked, the ratings you specify will automatically restrict the programming that appears
from the video sources.
* You can not disable Parental Control by disconnecting the TV from power. Block hours will automatically reset to the original block time setting
specified if power is disconnected.
