Parental Lock processes program
content advisories from broadcasters.
Parental Lock can respond to the
content advisories and block
objectionable content (offensive
language, violence, sexual situations,
etc.) This is a great feature to censor the
type of programming children watch.
Parental Lock offers various blocking
options from which to choose:
MASTER ENABLE: This is the “master
switch” for Parental Lock. When ON,
all blocking/censoring you have set
is enabled. When OFF, all blocking is
disabled.
BLOCK UNRATED: All unrated
programs (based on Movie Ratings or
TV Ratings) will be blocked if this feature
is ON and MASTER ENABLE is ON.
BLOCK NO RATING: All programming
with no content advisory data will
be blocked if this feature is ON and
MASTER ENABLE is ON.
After you set a password, you can
block up to six ratings in TV Ratings or
Movie Ratings. These ratings are set
by the Motion Picture Association of
America and TV broadcasters.
