Parental Control
A parental control feature is available to restrict or block undesirable programs from appearing on
the TV. This feature is of particular importance for TV’s installed in pediatric wards.
TV Rating
Most television programs are now rated. TV Rating allows the TV
to selectively present only programming content that is unblocked
per its preset level. A program that is blocked, displays a black
screen with a small title in the center stating the program’s TV
Rating. Set the TV Rating using the remote control.
1. Press
the
MENU
button.
2. Select
the
Setup
menu.
3. Press
the
CH
▲▼
button to select the Parental Control,
then press the
VOL
◄►
button.
4. The Enter Password screen will appear if Parental Lock
has been turned On. Enter your 4-digit password.
NOTE: The default input password for a new TV set is “OOOO”.
5. After entering a valid password, the “Parental Control”
screen will appear.
6. Use
the
VOL
◄►
buttons to select the TV rating. Then
press the
CH
▲▼
buttons to select one of the six age-
based categories in a column.
NOTE: These categories consist of two separate groups: TV-Y
and TV-Y7 (young children through age 7), and TV-G through TV-
MA (everybody else). The restrictions for these two groups work
independently: If viewers include very young children as well as
young adults, the TV rating is set separately for each age group
(See next step).
7. At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected.
Depending on your existing setup, a letter “U” or “B” will
be highlighted (U=Unblocked, B=Blocked). While the “U”
or “B” is highlighted, press the
CH
▲▼
buttons to block or
unblock the category.
NOTE 1: The TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA have additional options. See the next step to
change any of the following sub-ratings:
FV
: Fantasy Violence
D
: Sexual Suggestive Dialog
L
: Adult Language
S
: Sexual Situation
V
: Violence
NOTE 2: The TV will automatically block certain categories that are “more restrictive”. For
example, if you block the “TV-YY” category, then TV-Y7 will automatically be blocked. Similarly, if
you block the TV-G category, then all the categories in the “young adult” group will be blocked
(TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, and TV-MA). The sub-ratings (D, L, S, V) work together similarly.
8. How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.
