3.4Parental control
In general, television programmes are classified according to the level of violence, nudity and language of their content. When you are watching a programme, you can check its pro- gramme classification on the information box. For the informa- tion 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 block 15 or above rated programmes, set the Censorship option to 15 (age). Setting it to No block blocks no programme; on the other hand, setting it to Total block blocks 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 number twice for confirmation.
