Parental Control

Parental Control lets you restrict access to TV programs depending on their content rating. The video and audio of programs that you restrict will be scrambled until the correct password is entered.

Note

Parental Control is only available for North American (NTSC) Television.

Passwords are case-sensitive, and must be at least three characters in length.

If you forget your password, you must uninstall and reinstall your TV software.

Parental Control is only available for computer systems that have a TV tuner.

The capture still frames feature is disabled for scrambled programs, and video capture records only scrambled material.
