Press the MENU button on the main unit or on the remote control and then press <II / ~ buttons
to select LOCK menu. Use the 0-9 buttons to input the 4-digit password to enter the LOCK
menu. If used, this option feature can "block" undesirable programming from appearing on
the
TV. Parental Control offers the user a wide variety of options and settings that restrict or
"block" the programming that can appear
on the TV. Parental Control allows the user to define
which program rating they consider acceptable for the younger more sensitive viewer.
It can
be preset and turned either on or off by the user who specifies the secret 4-number password.
The user can specify what time
to block programming. General audiences and children blocks
should be both programmed into the TV's memory.
Separate different viewer ratings are
specified for both TV and the motion picture Industry; both rating systems should
be used and
based
on the ages of children.
Overview
To ensure complete coverage for all TV programs, (movies and regular TV shows) choose a
rating for MPAA, from the selections below, as well as ratings from the TV Parental Guidelines
Rating Systems below, using the Age Block option for General Audiences, and for children.
In addition, you may wish to add additional restrictions from the content block menu, and
submenus examples below.
Things to Consider before Setting up Parental Control
Determine which rating you consider acceptable to the viewer. (For example,if you choose TV-
PG, more restrictive ratings will
be automatically blocked; the viewer will not be able to see
TV-PG,TV-14,or TV-MA rated programming.)
You may block the auxiliary video source entirely.
(Blocks the signal sent
by the equipment, such as VCR, connected to the TV AudioNideo
Input Jacks) or remain unblocked, then choose acceptable ratings. Block program "Content"
based on individual parameters such as: Strong Dialog, Bad Language, Sex Scenes, Violence
Scenes, or Fantasy. Violent Scenes;
in Content Blk option. Select a secret password, in the
Set Password option, using the numbers keys
on the remote control. Save the password,
it is the only way to access the Parental Control menu and change rating setting, or turn off
Parental Control. "
You can set different Parental Control viewing restrictions for general audiences and for
children; both
can be active at the same time.
Simply specifying one content block, such as Sex Scenes, will not automatically restrict the
programming that appears from the video sources.
Even If you
choose to leave the AUX Inputs unblocked, the ratings you specify will
automatically restrict the programming that appears from the video sources.
You cannot disable Parental Control by disconnecting the TV from power. Block hours will
be automatically reset to the original block time setting specified if power is disconnected.
