Program Rating Lock
The
Program Rating Lock
feature lets you block programs based on their ratings. This is useful for
controlling what children watch on TV. Program Rating Lock does not block programs originating from
external sources, such as Blu-ray players, DVD players, or USB files.
Every time you access the
Program Rating Lock
feature, you must enter the security PIN. You must
also enter this PIN to watch a blocked program. The default PIN is 0000. To change the PIN, go to

The
Program Rating Lock
is available only in
TV
mode.
