If used, this optional feature can “block” undesirable programming from appearing on the TV. Parental Control offers the user a wide variety of options and settings that restrict or “block” the programming that can appear on the TV. Parental control allows the user the capability of defining which program rating they consider acceptable, to the younger or more sensitive viewers. It can be preset and turned either on or off by the user who specifies the secret 4-number code. The number of hours blocked are specified. General audience and children viewer blocks should both be

programmed into the TV’s memory. Viewer ratings are specified for both TV and the motion picture industry; both rating systems should be used for complete coverage.

The ratings are based on the ages of children.

Overview

To insure complete coverage for all TV programs, (movies and regular TV shows) choose a rating for CBRS, from the selections below,and choose ratings from the TV Parental Guidelines Rating System below, using the Age Block option for General Audiences, and for Children. In addition

to those, you may wish to add additional restrictions from the Content Block menu. See the Parental Control menu, and submenus example below.

Things to Consider before Setting Up Parental Control

Determine which rating you consider acceptable to the viewer. (For example, if you choose PG, all more restrictive ratings will be automatically blocked; the viewer will not be able to see: 14+ and 18+ rated programming.)

Do you want to block the auxiliary video source entirely? (Blocks the signal sent by the equipment, such as a VCR, connected to the TV Audio/Video input jacks) Or leave unblocked, then choose allowable ratings. Block program “Content” based on individual parameters such as: Strong Dialog, Bad Language, Sex Scenes, Violence Scenes, or Fantasy Violence Scenes; in the Content Blk option.

Select a secret password; in the Set Password option. Use the number keys on the remote. Don’t forget the password, it is the only way you can access the Parental Control menu and change rating selections, or turn Parental Control off.

Do you want Parental Control to be active all the time? If not, you can turn it on or off with the Lock On/Off option.

*You can set different Parental Control viewing restrictions for general audiences and for children, both can be active at the same time.

*Simply specifying one content block such as Bad Language, will not automatically block other content in the program from appearing.

*Even if you choose to leave the Aux inputs unblocked, the ratings you specify will automatically restrict the programming that appears from the video sources.

*You can not disable Parental Control by disconnecting the TV from power. Block hours will automatically reset to the original block time setting specified if power is disconnected.
