-ActivatingParental Control (with remote only)

CTRL functions let you lock any channels you choose so they cannot be viewed by your children.

Channels that have been locked can

be viewe.d only when the PARENTAL CTRL function is set to

OFF. This can only be done with the remote control-it can not be changed with the buttons on the front of the

TV. Therefore, after you turn on PARENTAL CTRL, you simply hide the remote control so that your children can not watch the locked channels.. An optional simplified remote (shown on page 45) is also available that your children can use. The simplified remote does not allow access to the locked channels.

The locked-out channels will remain unviewable even if the TV is unplugged or the channels are

autoprogrammed again. The only way to view locked channels is to use the supplied remote control to set the PARENTAL CTRL function to OFF. Note: Channels above 99 cannot be locked.

The PARENTAL CTRL and the CHAN CTRL functions work hand-in-hand. The instructions below will first tell

you how to turn parental control on or off with the PARENTAL CTRL function

and then how to lock desired channels with the CHAN CTRL function.
