The PARENTAL CTRL
and
CHAN
CTRL
functions let you lock out any
channels 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. An optional simplified
remote (shown on page 47) is also
available that your children can use.
The simplified remote does not allow
access to 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 supplied remote control to
set the
PARENTAL CTRL
function to
OFF:
Note: Channels above 99 cannot be locked.
