Parental Controls

The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so that children cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the buttons on the front of the TV. The Parental Controls menu controls the software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which lets you program your TV so it won’t display certain programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view. Once you block programs, you or other adults can unblock programs by entering a password to unlock video or enter the password to edit the features in the Parental Controls menu. By default, the software inside your TV is turned “off,” so if you don’t want to use this feature, you can just ignore it.

The options of the Parental Controls menu are Lock/Unlock TV, Video Input List, Cable Channel List, Antenna Channel List, USA V-Chip, Canada V-Chip, V-Chip Unrated, and Front Button Block.

Tip

You must lock the TV for the parental controls settings to be enforced.

Selecting this option lets you lock and unlock the parental controls and the TV using a password. It locks or unlocks channel lists. If the TV is unlocked when watching TV, you only see the channels that have a check mark in the Unlocked List (see Channel Lists below). If the TV is locked when watching TV, you only see the channels that are marked as Viewable in the Locked List. If the TV is locked, all channels can still be accessed by using the number buttons on the remote control but may not be viewed if they are blocked (enter password to see program).

Notes: When locking the TV, you’ll be asked to enter a password and then to re-enter the password a second time to re-confirm your password choice.

If you do not lock the TV, none of the settings for V-Chip, channel block, and front panel block take effect.

Channel Lists (Video Input List, Cable Channel List, Antenna Ch. List)

The channel lists contain the following information: major channel number, with sub-channel number only if it’s a digital channel; channel call letters, if available when channel is tuned; Locked List; and Unlocked List. The channels listed in Cable Channel List and Antenna Ch. List for off-air or cable sources are based on the channel search results. If a channel is not found by Channel Search, then it is not listed.
