Guidance

What is guidance?

Guidance is a parental lock which gives you 
control against the types of programmes that 
can be watched and played back on your HD 
Digital TV Recorder.

Programmes that contain guidance information 
are marked with a 

G

.

Guidance labels let you know when a 
programme may include content that is 
unsuitable for young audiences (e.g violence, 
sex, drug use, or strong language) or when it 
may be harmful to view (e.g. contains flashing 
images).

DON’T FORGET!

 Guidance is usually used 

for television programmes broadcast after 
9pm.
