Using the Password

The Parental Control menu allows you to use a password to protect certain settings from being accidentally changed.

IMPORTANT: These conditions must be met to enable parental controls:

■Password is set.

■Rating settings have been made.

Enter the password when prompted.

Setting a password (secret number)

In the Parental Ctrl/Password menu, select Input Password, and then enter the new 4-digit password number by using the 0–9 buttons on the remote control. Enter the same digits for Confirm Password, and then press OK.

As a precautionary measure, write down your password and keep it in a familiar place.

IMPORTANT: If you lose or forget your password, enter the Master Password: 0532

Setting Parental Controls

The parental controls use a V-Chip, which is an electronic filtering device built into your TV. This tool gives parents a great degree of control over broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child viewing while blocking ones judged not suitable. It does so automatically once you select a password and set the values for parental controls.

The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.

■The TV Parental Guidelines help parents screen out inappropriate television shows from their children.

■Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as watched on cable TV and not edited for television. Options can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies.
