[. . . ] The Parental Controls menu controls the software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which lets you program your TV so it won't display certain programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view. Once you block programs, you or other adults can unblock programs by entering a password to unlock video or enter the password to edit the features in the Parental Controls menu. By default, the software inside your TV is turned "off, " so if you don't want to use this feature, you can just ignore it. The options of the Parental Controls menu are Lock/Unlock TV, Video Input List, Cable Channel List, Antenna Channel List, USA V-Chip, Canada V-Chip, V-Chip Unrated, and Front Button Block. Press OK or to access the Parental Controls menu. Main Menu Parental Controls Lock/Unlock TV Selecting this option lets you lock and unlock the parental controls and the TV using a password. If the TV is unlocked when watching TV, you only see the channels that have a check mark in the Unlocked List (see Channel Lists below). If the TV is locked when watching TV, you only see the channels that are marked as Viewable in the Locked List. If the TV is locked, all channels can still be accessed by using the number buttons on the remote control but may not be viewed if they are blocked (enter password to see program). Notes: When locking the TV, you'll be asked to enter a password and then to re-enter the password a second time to re-confirm your password choice. If you do not lock the TV, none of the settings for V-Chip, channel block, and front panel block take effect. If you forget your password, simultaneously press and hold the MENU/ OK button on the front panel and VOL- button on the remote for three seconds. This resets the password only and unlocks the TV; all other settings in Parental Controls are not changed. 0 Go Back 1 Lock TV 2 Video Input List 3 Cable Channel List 4 Antenna Ch. That code tells the TV software the program's age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc. ) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc. )]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains and the TV is locked and you tune to a program whose rating exceeds the rating limit you set, you will receive a message telling you that the program is not approved for viewing. Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating and the TV is locked. With the V-Chip Unrated menu, you can also block out programs that have been given a rating of "Not Rated, " or "Exempt" and programs that are considered "unrated". The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are in the table on the next page.
