Set the Parental Control Policy

The Parental Control Policy sets which shows and channels are

restricted based upon ratings (both motion picture ratings such as

G-rated, PG-rated, or R-rated, and TV rating such as TV-MA or TV-17)

or you can lock by channel. You can also restrict the viewing of DVDs

based upon the DVD rating.

Note

When you enter the Parental Control PIN, the Recorder is

unlocked and the restrictions for the ratings are removed. To lock

the Recorder again, select Settings > Parental Control > Turn on

Lock Policy.

Lock by Rating

To restrict watching shows and movies according to the rating for the

show, select Lock by Rating, and then select the rating you want to

restrict. When you select a rating, all ratings above the one you select

are restricted as well. For example, if you select PG-13, movies rated

PG-13 or R are restricted.

Note

If the Program Guide does not contain any information, TV

shows cannot be locked by rating. Once the Program Guide contains

program information, the rating for each program is available and TV

shows can be restricted by rating. For information about updating the

Program Guide, see Downloading the Program Guide and Software

Updates.

Lock by Channel

To lock specific channels from view, select Lock by Channel. Then select

each channel you want to block with a parental lock.

Lock DVD

With Lock DVD you can restrict viewing of any DVD by DVD rating.

When a DVD is inserted into the Recorder the DVD rating (which is

different from a movie rating) is checked by the Recorder. If the rating

is locked, enter the Parental Control PIN to unlock the DVD.

Note

When you enter the Parental Control PIN to watch a DVD, the

DVD is unlocked for the current session only. If you stop playback of a

DVD, the parental lock PIN will be required to watch the DVD again or

watch another DVD.

Turn on Lock Policy

Select Turn on Lock Policy to enable the parental control lock after you

have unlocked restricted shows or DVDs.

Change PIN

To change the PIN, select Change PIN, and then enter a new PIN.
