The PARENTAL
CTRL and CHAN
CTRL functions
let you lock any
channels between
1 and 99 so they
cannot be viewed by your children.
Channels that have been locked can
be viewed only when the
I_,ENTAL
CTRL function is set to
OFF. This can only be done with the
remote control-it
can not be changed
with the buttons on the front of the
TV. Therefore,
after you turn on
P_O,ENTAL CTRL, you simply hide
the remote control so that your
children can not watch the locked
channels.
An optional
simplified
remote (shown on page 37) is also
available
that your children can use.
The simplified
remote does not allow
access to the locked channels.
The locked-out channels will remain
unviewable even if the TV is
unplugged or the channels are
atttoprogrammed again. The only
way to view locked channels is to use
the supplied remote control to set the
PARENTAL CTRL function to OFF.

The PARENTAL CTRL and the CHAN

and then how to lock desired channels
with the CHAN CTRL function.

button to select the CHAN CTRL
function.

SETUP MENU, and then press + or
- to display setup functions.
Repeatedly press MENU to select
the PARENTAL CTRL function.
Select a channel you want to lock by
pressing CHANNEL up or down.
Then press +. The CHAN CTRL
setting will change from NORMAL
to LOCKED when that channel is
locked. To return the channel to
NORMAL, press the - button.
• When this function is set to ON,
PARENTAL CTRL is activated and
any channels you locked with the
CHAN CTRL function will not be
viewable.
• When this function is set to OFF,
PARENTAL CTRL is deactivated
and all channels are viewable.
Repeat step 2 for each channel you
want to lock.
If the PARENTAL CTRL function is
set to ON while you are locking out
channels, each channel will go
blank as you lock it.
When the PARENTAL CTRL
function is set to ON and a channel
which has been locked out is tuned,
the TV will display the words
PARENTAL CONTROL to let your
kids know you have locked it.
