Understanding Parental Lock

Parental Lock processes program content advisories from broadcasters. Parental Lock can respond to the content advisories and block objectionable content (offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.) This is a great feature to censor the type of programming children watch.

Parental Lock offers various blocking options from which to choose:

MASTER ENABLE: This is the “master switch” for Parental Lock. When ON, all blocking/censoring you have set

is enabled. When OFF, all blocking is disabled.

BLOCK UNRATED: All unrated programs (based on Movie Ratings or TV Ratings) will be blocked if this feature is ON and MASTER ENABLE is ON.

BLOCK NO RATING: All programming with no content advisory data will be blocked if this feature is ON and MASTER ENABLE is ON.

After you set a password, you can block up to six ratings in TV Ratings or Movie Ratings. These ratings are set by the Motion Picture Association of America and TV broadcasters.
