Parental Control
With the Parental Control, adults can prevent younger
audiences from watching inappropriate TV programs, VCR
tapes or DVD contents. When an attempt is made to watch a
blocked program (or content), the Plasma Display shows a
message over a black screen. The Parental Control applies to
both conventional and digital TV channels.
There are three rating systems in the United States: 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 page 40.
