Setting parental controls
Parental controls let you prevent your children from watching inappropriate material on TV. When set, parental controls read the rating of the program (with some exceptions, such as news and sports) and deny access to programs that exceed the ratings level you select. To watch programs that exceed the selected rating, you must enter a password.
Note: Parental controls are only effective for a TV source.
Setting or changing the password
When you enter the Parental Controls menu for the first time, the password is not required so that you can specify your own password. We suggest that you specify your own password as soon as possible.
You can check the DTV signal strength to determine if you need to adjust your antenna or digital cable input. The higher the signal strength, the less likely you are to experience picture degradation.
