Using the Parental Controls

The TV’s parental controls allow you to prevent the TV from displaying certain channels or programs without a password.

The Parental Controls menu only appears when:

You are using the tuner to receive your TV signals, such as when you are using an antenna for Over-the-Air signals or when connected to cable TV directly from the wall (no cable box).

You have a device connected using a composite video cable or a coaxial cable, such as a VCR, satellite or cable box, or DVR.
