Parental Control

With the Parental Control, parents can prevent their children from watching inappropriate TV programs, VCR or DVD contents. When an attempt is made to watch a program (or content) blocked by parents, the Plasma Display shows nothing but a message. The Parental Control functions for both conventional and digital TV channels.

In the U.S. three rating systems have been provided: the TV ratings, TV Parental Guidelines, and movie ratings. Movie ratings are provided by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and are used for original movies not edited for television.

For the rating system in Canada, see pages 36 and 37.
