Using Conventional TV Features (continued)
Using the PARENTAL
CONTROL Feature
TV programs and movies shown on TV are
given a rating signal based on one of two
rating systems. One is the Television Parental
Guidelines to rate television programs (TV
ratings), and the other is the Motion Picture
Association of America (MPAA) Guidelines
to rate movies including those shown on TV
(movie ratings).
To block programs you feel are unsuitable for
your children, you need to set the TV for
both rating systems. Sony's predetermined
ratings are also available.
See pages 70 and 71 for a description of the
ratings.
