Setting Parental Controls
The HDT101 offers two options for parental controls:
• V-Chip – blocks programming based on movie and TV ratings
systems.
• Channel Lock – blocks a channel or channels so it cannot be
viewed without a password. This can be done independently for
each channel.
V-Chip
You can use the V-Chip technology to block certain types of
programming from being viewed. The V-Chip settings are based on the
MPAA (Motion Picture Advisory Association) and TV ratings systems.

or beyond that rating limit cannot be viewed.
