Adjusting Parental Control Settings
This function allows video programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled based on FCC data. It prevents children from watching
violent or sexual scenes that may be harmful.
Restriction of video programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program: the MPAA rating and the TV Parental
Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and content.
Since a video program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for complete control.
