Parental Control
With the Parental Control, parents can prevent their children
from watching inappropriate TV programs, VCR or DVD
contents. When an attempt is made to watch a program (or
content) blocked by parents, the Plasma Display shows nothing
but a message. The Parental Control functions for both
conventional and digital TV channels.
In the U.S. three rating systems have been provided: the TV
ratings, TV Parental Guidelines, and movie ratings. Movie
ratings are provided by the Motion Picture Association of
America (MPAA) and are used for original movies not edited for
television.
For the rating system in Canada, see pages 36 and 37.
