Parental Control Overview
Overview
Parental Control offers the user a wide variety of options and settings that restrict or "block" the programming that can
appear on the TV. Parental Control allows the user the capability of defining which program rating they consider accept-
able, to the younger or more sensitive viewer. It can be preset and turned either on or off by the user who specifies the
secret 4-number code, the password. Viewer ratings are specified for both TV and the motion picture industry; both rating
systems should be used for complete coverage. These ratings are based mainly on children's ages. See the Parental Control
menu and submenus example on the next page.
Things to Consider before Setting Up Parental Control View or Block options
• Determine which rating you consider acceptable to the viewer. (For example, if you choose TV-PG, all more restrictive
ratings will be automatically blocked; the viewer will not be able to see: TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA rated programming.)
• Do you want to block individual channels or input sources? (Blocks the signal sent by the equipment, such as a VCR,
connected to the TV Audio/Video input jacks.) Or leave unblocked, then choose allowable ratings.
• Lock the front panel controls so they cannot be used with the Front Panel Lock option.
• Select a secret password; in the Set Password option. Use the number keys on the remote. Don't forget the password, it
is the only way you can access the Parental Control menu and change rating selections, or turn Parental Control off.
