What happens when a TV show is blocked?
After you've set up parental controls, TV shows and movies
can be blocked:
When you change channels and the new channel is playing a
●
program whose rating exceeds your settings.
When a new show comes on the channel you are watching and
●
its rating exceeds your settings.
When a program is blocked by parental control settings, the TV
displays a blocked message:
Whenever this blocked message appears, both the video and
audio of the show are blocked, as well as program data that would
normally appear in the area at the bottom of the screen.
To watch the blocked program, you need to know the PIN code
defined when you enabled parental controls, as explained in
Creating a parental control PIN L p. 48.
1
Press OK to select Unblock and display a PIN pad.
2
Use the arrow keys to enter your parental control PIN code,
and then press OK to select Unblock everything.
After unblocking shows that have been blocked, all blocking is
disabled for two hours or until you turn off the TV.
Changing the parental control PIN
To change your parental control PIN:
1
From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental
controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2
In the Parental controls screen, highlight Change PIN.
3
Move the highlight into the adjacent keypad, and then use the
arrow keys and then press OK to enter a four digit code. Then
repeat the process to enter the same PIN again, just to make
sure you correctly entered the PIN you want to use.
Resetting parental controls
So now your kids have grown up and gone away to college, and
you no longer want to deal with blocked programs.
To erase all parental control settings:
1
From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental
controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2
In the Parental controls screen, highlight Reset parental
controls.
3
Follow the instructions on the screen to confirm that you want
to erase all parental control settings.
Tip(s)
Resetting parental controls also erases your parental control
●
PIN.
Factory reset is the only way to reset the feature if the PIN is
●
not known. Please make certain to record your PIN somewhere
in case it is forgotten.
