Parental Control

The Parental Control menu allows you to lock certain channels
you consider unsuitable and to set an age limit so that any
programme classed above that age by the broadcaster is
restricted. Before you can lock channels or set an age limit, you
must set up your own PIN (Personal Identification Number).
You will be requested to enter the PIN before you can view
channels that have been locked or given an age limit.
