Parental Control - Kenmore 348.71395610 Use & Care Manual

PARENTAL CONTROL

Press the MENU button on the main unit or on the remote control and then press
select LOCK menu. Use the 0-9 buttons to input the 4-digit password to enter the LOCK menu. If
used, this option feature can "block'' undesirable programming from appearing on the TV.
Parental Control offers users a wide variety of options and settings that restrict or "block'' the
programming that can appear on the TV. Parental Control allows users to define which program
rating they consider acceptable for a younger more sensitive viewer. It can be preset and turned
either on or off by the user who specifies the secret 4-number password code. The number of
hours blocked can also be specified.
General audience and children block should both be programmed into the TV memory. Separate
different viewer ratings are specified for both TV and the motion picture Industry; both rating
systems should be used and based on the ages of children.
Overview
To ensure complete coverage for all TV programs (movies and regular TV show) using the Age
Block option, choose a rating from both the MPAA and TV Parental Guideline tables on the next
page. In addition, you may wish to add other restrictions selected from the content block menu
and submenus.
Things to Consider before Setting up Parental Control
Determine which ratings you consider are acceptable for different viewers. For example, if you
choose TV-PG, more restrictive ratings will be automatically blocked; some viewers will not be
able to see: TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA rated programs. You may block the auxiliary video source
entirely.
Use the Content Blk option to block program Content based on individual parameters such as:
Strong Dialog, Bad Language, Sex Scenes, Violence Scenes or Fantasy.
Go into the Set Password option and use the numeric keys on the remote control to set a secret
password, then save the password, it is the only way to access the Parental Control menu and
change ratings setting, or turn off Parental Control.
• 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 restrict the
programming that appears from the video sources;
• 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 cannot disable Parental Control by disconnecting the TV from power. Block hours will be
automatically reset to the original block time setting specified if power is disconnected.
