Parental Control

The PARENTAL CTRL and CHAN

channels you choose so they cannot be viewed by your children.

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-out 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-out channels is to use the remote control to set the

PARENTAL CTRL function to OFF.
