Parental Control
The
PARENTAL CTRL
and
CHAN CTRL
functions let you lock out
any channels between 1 and 99 that you choose so they
cannot be viewed by your children.
Channels that have been locked out can be viewed only
when the
PARENTAL CTRL
function is set to
OFF
. This can
only be done with the remote control–it can not be changed
with the buttons on the front of the TV. Therefore, after
you turn on
PARENTAL CTRL
, you simply hide the remote
control so that your children can not watch the locked-out
channels.
The locked-out channels will remain unviewable even if
the TV is unplugged or the channels are autoprogrammed
again. The only way to view locked-out channels is to use
the remote control to set the
PARENTAL CTRL
function to
OFF
.

To lock out channels, press the
MENU
button to select the
CHAN
CTRL
function.
Select a channel you want to lock out by pressing
CHANNEL
up
or down. Then press + or –. The
CHAN CTRL
setting will
change from
NORMAL
to
LOCKED
when that channel is locked-
out.
Repeat step 3 for each channel you want to lock out.
If the
PARENTAL CTRL
function is set to
ON
while you are
locking out channels, each channel will go blank as you lock
it out.
When the
PARENTAL CTRL
function is set to
ON
and a channel
which has been locked out is tuned, the TV will display the
words
PARENTAL CONTROL
to let your children know you have
locked it out.
Note: You may want to lock out the same channels in both
ANTENNA A
and
ANTENNA B
modes. This prevents someone from moving the cable
to the
ANT B
input to watch channels locked out in the
ANTENNA A
mode.
