Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings
that contain information about the program: the
MPAA rating and the TV Parental Guidelines.
MPAA ratings are based on age
appropriateness. TV Parental Guidelines are
based on age and content.
Since a TV program may use either the MPAA
rating or the TV Parental Guidelines, both should
be adjusted for complete control.
Understanding movie ratings (MPAA)
For example, if you block PG-13 in the MPAA
ratings, the higher ratings of R, NC, X, and NR
are automatically blocked.
Understanding TV ratings
TV ratings include two components: a general
criteria (age-based) and a detailed criteria
(content-based). The content-based ratings
include the following:
•
D: Sexually suggestive dialog
• L: Adult language
• S: Sexual situations
• V: Violence
• FV: Fantasy violence
Setting up the Parental Control password
To use Parental Controls, you must first set your
password.
To set your password:
1 Press MENU, then press or to open the
CONTENT menu.
2 Press to enter the menu.

× = Content rating can be set, but this rating is not normally
broadcast by TV stations.
• = Content rating can be set.
Note
• Age-based ratings can be modified by the
content-based ratings, but only in the
combinations indicated by a “•” in the table
above.
• Choosing lower age-based rating blocks the
higher age-based ratings regardless of content
ratings settings.
For example, when Y7 in the age-based rating
is set to BLOCK, the higher ratings of G, PG,
14, and MA are automatically blocked. In
addition, D, L, S, V, and FV-content programs
are automatically blocked.
