3.4Parental control
In general television programmes are classified according to the level of violence, nudity and language of its content. When you are watching a programme, you can check its programme classification on the information box. For the information box, see § 5.2.3.
You can prevent your children from watching specific pro- grammes by specifying a programme classification.
Select the System Setting > Parental Control menu. You should see a screen like the left figure, and you will be asked your Personal Identifica- tion Number (PIN). The number is initially set to 0000.
If you wish to restrict 15 or above rated programmes, set the Censorship option to 15 (age). Setting it to No block restricts no programme; on the other hand, setting it to Total block re- stricts every programme.
NOTE
If a programme does not have any programme classification information, your censorship setting will not take effect.
If anyone is trying to watch a programme that is of or above the censorship setting, the person has to enter the personal identification number to override.
To change the number, select the Change PIN Code menu; then an input box appears. You have to enter a desired num- ber twice for confirmation.
