ratings are speciied for both TV and the motion picture Industry; both rating systems should

Things to Consider before Setting up Parental Control
Determine which rating you consider acceptable to the viewer. (For example,if you choose
TV-PG, more restrictive ratings will be automatically blocked; the viewer will not be able to
see: TV-PG,TV-14,or TV-MA rated programming.) Do you want to block the auxiliary video
source entirely? (Blocks the signal sent by the equipment, such as VCR, connected to the TV
Audio/VIdeo Input Jacks) Or leave unblocked, then choose allowable ratings. Block program
"Content" based on individual parameters such as: Strong Dialog, Bad Language, Sex
Scenes,Violence Scenes, or Fantasy. Violent Scenes; in Content Blk option. Select a secret
password, in the Set Password option, using the numbers keys on the remote control.Do not
forget the password, it is the only way you can access the Parental Control menu and change
rating selections, or turn Parental Control of.Do you want the Parental Control to be active at
all times? If not, you can turn it on or of with the Lock On/Of option.
• You can set diferent Parental Control viewing restrictions for general audiences and for
children, both can be active at the same time.
• Simply specifying one content block such as Sex Scenes, will not automatically restrict the
programming that appears from the video sources.
• Even If you choose to leave the AUX Inputs unblocked, the ratings you specify will
automatically restrict the programming that appears from the video sources.
• You can not disable Parental Control by disconnecting the TV from power. Block hours will
be automatically reset to the original block time setting speciied if power is disconnected.
