Using the Parental
Control Feature
The TV programs and movies shown on TV are given a rating signal based on the following rating systems.
In U.S.A.: U.S. Television Parental Guidelines to rate television programs (U.S. TV ratings), and Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) Guidelines to rate movies including those shown on TV (movie ratings).
In Canada: Canadian English Language ratings to rate television programs in English, and Canadian French Language ratings to rate those in French.
To block programs you feel unsuitable for your children, you need to set the TV for the desired rating systems. Sony’s predetermined ratings are also available. See page 46 for a description of the ratings.
The TV’s Parental Control feature functions by receiving the rating signal from your local broadcasting station or cable service provider.
