Parental Controls And Kidzone - TiVo Premiere Manual

Parental Controls and KidZone

Your TiVo Premiere gives you two great ways to make sure your family has access to only
those shows you want them to watch.
Note: Parental Controls and KidZone are available only when you use TiVo with SD menus, not
when you use TiVo with HD menus. See page 80 for information on switching from TiVo with
HD menus to TiVo with SD menus.
• Use Parental Controls to set limits on movie and television ratings, to lock specific channels,
and to prevent viewing of recorded shows that violate the settings you choose.
• Use KidZone to set up an environment where only age-appropriate channels and recordings
are available. Children cannot set up new recordings or change any settings on the TiVo
Premiere.
