Parental Control / Ratings

Parental Control can be used to block specific channels, ratings and other viewing sources.

The Parental Control Function (V-Chip) is used to block program viewing based on the ratings sent by the broad- casting station. The default setting is to allow all programs to be viewed. Viewing can be blocked by choosing the type of the program and the categories. It is also possible to block all program viewing for a time period. To use this function, the following must be done :

1.Set ratings and categories to be blocked.

2.Specify a password

3.Enable the lock

V-Chip rating and categories

Rating guidelines are provided by broadcasting stations. Most television programs and television movies can be blocked by TV Rating and/or Individual Categories. Movies that have been shown at the theaters or direct-to- video movies use the Movie Rating System (MPAA) only.

■TV-G (General audience)

■TV-PG (Parental guidance suggested)

■TV-14 (Parents strongly cautioned)

■TV-MA (Mature audience only)

■TV-Y (All children)
