Parental Controls

Parental Controls enables parents to place certain restrictions on just who’s watching what, and require a

passcode to view restricted programming. Whether it’s for mature content or spending amounts, you’re

always able to keep limitations where you want them for the whole family.

Press MENU to display the Quick Menu, SELECT Parental Controls, then Edit Settings, and you’ll see

the current status showing any restrictions. Th

e system default is “unlocked” for all categories.

Ratings

Here you can set rating limits for Movies and TV:

1) SELECT Ratings.

2) Highlight the desired tab using the ARROW keys and press SELECT. Note: You can also use RED

or GREEN to cycle tabs.

Movies
Highlight and select the Movies tab, then set the overall rating limit you wish to impose. Brief

descriptions of the ratings appear for your guidance.

TV Programs

SELECT the TV tab, then highlight and select the TV rating you desire. You can also set ratings

for particular content (for example, Fantasy Violence, Dialogue), each of which is described when

highlighted.

For ratings limits and channel

blocks, as well as most other

checkbox-type items, pressing

SELECT toggles the item on and off

when setting them up.
