CHILD LOCK
When there is a TV channel you wish your children not to
watch, you can use the CHILD LOCK function to lock out
the TV channel. Even when a child chooses a programme
number (PR) in which a locked TV channel has been

(CHILD LOCK) so the TV channel cannot be viewed.
Unless you enter a pre-set ID number by a special
operation, the lock cannot be released and the child cannot
view the TV channel programmes.
