PARENTAL CONTROL
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 acceptable, 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 al-
lowable 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 op-
tion. 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 rat-
ing selections, or turn Parental Control off.
