Parental Guide
This feature allows parents to block certain programs
from being viewed, based on the programs' rating. In order
to access this menu, you must first enter a pass code. The
factory default is 6 6 8 8. Enter the pass code while the
Parental Guide is highlighted. Now, with Parental Guide
set as On, press the right arrow key to access the TV Rating
grid.
TV Rating Grid
Using the up or down arrow key to navigate between the
ratings, press the MENU key to block out a particular
rating completely. Or, if you wish, press the down
arrow key to highlight an individual rating (anywhere a
U is displayed in the middle of the grid.) Pressing the
MENU key with one of these individual ratings
highlighted will block only programs that feature that
particular aspect. See the TV rating diagram at right for
an example. TV ratings are defined in the charts below:
MPAA Rating Grid
Press the right arrow key while in the TV Rating grid to
access this grid. Use the up or down arrow key to
navigate between the MPAA ratings. Pressing the MENU
key with a rating highlighted will block that particular
rating from being shown on this TV. A B will show in red
next to the blocked rating. Please note that blocking a
lower rating (for example, PG) will block all higher
ratings (PG-13, R, NC-17, X.)
Pass Code Menu
This menu allows you to change the access code for the
Parental Guide functions of the TV set. Press the MENU
key when Pass Code Control is highlighted. This will
turn on or off the Pass Code function. With the Pass Code
function ON, you can also change the Pass Code. Use the
down arrow key to highlight Pass Code, then enter the
new Pass Code using the numeric keypad.
Note: The factory default pass code of 6688 is also the
override code, in case you forget your new pass
