type of program and by the categories chosen to be blocked. It is also possible to block all program viewing
for a time period. To use the Parental Control Function, the following must be set.

1. Ratings and categories to be blocked. 
2. Number of hours to lock the television viewing control
3. Set a password
4. Enable the lock
