Parental Control
The Parental Control menu allows you to lock certain channels you consider unsuitable and to set an age limit so that any programme classed above that age by the broadcaster is restricted. Before you can lock channels or set an age limit, you must set up your own PIN (Personal Identification Number).
You will be requested to enter the PIN before you can view channels that have been locked or given an age limit.
Note: If you do not want to make use of these functions, please follow ‘Set PIN’ procedure and set the PIN to 0000.

3Enter the number again to confirm, then press BACK to return to Parental Control menu.
