Parental Control - ProScan PS20112 Owner's Manual

Parental Control
The
PARENTAL CTRL
and
CHAN CTRL
functions let you lock out
any channels you choose so they cannot be viewed by your
children.
Channels that have been locked out can be viewed only
when the PARENTAL CTRL function is set to OFF. This can
only be done with the remote control-it can not be changed
with the buttons on the front of the TV. Therefore, after
you turn on PARENTAL CTRL, y OUsimply hide the remote
control so that your children can not watch the locked-out
channels.
The locked-out channels will remain unviewable even if
the TV is unplugged or the channels are autoprogrammed
again. The only way to view locked-out channels is to use
the remote control to set the PARENTAL CTRL function to OFF.
Note: Channelsabove99 cannotbe locked.
