Guest Parental Control Menu
This optional feature can be used to "block" undesirable programming from appearing on your TV
This TV offers the hotel guest 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 hotel guest who speci-
fies the secret 4-number code, the password. The number of hours blocked are specified. General audience and children
viewer blocks should both be programmed into the TV's memory. Viewer ratings are specified for both TV and the motion
picture industry; both rating systems can be used. The ratings are based mainly 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 selec-
tions below AND choose ratings from the TV Parental Guidelines Rating System on the next page, 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 on the next page.
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 the auxiliary video source blocked entirely? (Blocks the signal sent by the equipment, such as a VCR, connected
to the TV Audio/Video input jacks; in the Aux. Block option.) Or leave unblocked, and Parental Control will restrict the video
picture and sound based on the restrictions you have specified.
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.
How many hours do you want Parental Control to be active? You can set the Hours option for up to 12 hours.
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 should set Parental Control viewing restrictions
for general audiences and for children - - both
should 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.
