Parental Guide
This feature allows parents to block certain programs from being viewed, based on the programs' rating. In order to access this menu, you must first enter a pass code. The factory default is 6688. Enter the pass code while the Parental Guide is highlighted. Now, with Parental Guide set as On, press the right arrow key to access the TV Rating grid.
TV Rating Grid
Using the up or down arrow key to navigate between the ratings, press the MENU key to block out a particular rating completely. Or, if you wish, press the down arrow key to highlight an individual rating (anywhere a U is displayed in the middle of the grid.) Pressing the MENU key with one of these individual ratings highlighted will block only programs that feature that particular aspect. See the TV rating diagram at right for an example. TV ratings are defined in the charts below:
