Parent Menu; Activating The Parental Control Feature - Sony MFM-HT75W Owners Man

Parent menu

TV programs and movies shown on TV are given a rating signal
based on the following rating systems.
In the U.S.A.: U.S. Television Parental Guidelines to rate
television programs (U.S. TV ratings), and Motion Picture
Association of America (MPAA) Guidelines to rate movies
including those shown on TV (movie ratings).
In Canada: Canadian English Language ratings to rate television
programs in English, and Canadian French Language ratings to
rate those in French.
To block programs you feel unsuitable for your children, you need
to set the display for the desired rating systems. Sony's
predetermined ratings are also available. See page 28 for a
description of the ratings.
The TV's Parental Control feature functions by receiving the
rating signal from your local broadcasting station or cable service
provider.
