Setting parental controls

Note

Unless otherwise noted, all tasks in this section are based on using the remote control.

Setting or changing the password

Your TV has a V-chip that lets you control the type of programs your children can watch. Parental controls include two ratings: MPAA (based on age) and TV Parental Guidelines (based on content and age). A TV program may have an MPAA or TV Parental Guidelines rating, so you should set controls for both ratings.

Before you can select ratings, you need to set up a parental controls password.

To set up a password:

1Press MENU. The on-screen menu opens with the Picture menu displayed.
