Using Parental Control
Parental Control enables you to restrict the viewing of certain
channels, ratings, content advisory levels, and time periods. For
example, you may wish to prevent your children from watching
certain channels or programs intended for mature audiences, or
to restrict TV watching at certain times, such as late in the
evening.
You can also hide the titles and descriptions of adult-oriented
programs so they do not appear in the Program Guide or other
places in Passport Echo.
Setting Up Parental Control
To set up Parental Control, specify the channels, ratings, content
advisories, and time periods you want to lock, and whether you
want to hide adult-oriented program titles. (If you have not yet
created a PIN, but still try to turn on Parental Control, Passport
Echo will prompt you to create a PIN.)
Once you have specified the locking settings, you can then turn
on Parental Control to lock all the channels, ratings, content
advisory levels, and time periods you specified. To watch locked
programs and channels, you then must enter a PIN.
When you select a locked program, a display similar to the
following is shown:
Press the SELECT key, then enter your four-digit Parental
Control PIN to turn off Parental Control.
Note: If the channel is locked, you can disable Parental Control
for the current channel only, or for all channels and recordings.
