Parental Controls and KidZone

Your TiVo Product_Name gives you two great ways to make sure your family has access to
only those shows you want them to watch.
• 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
Product_Name.
