Parental control
In general, television programmes are classified according to
the level of violence, nudity and language of their content.
When you are watching a programme, you can check its pro-
gramme classification on the information box. For the informa-
tion box, see §
5.2.3
.
You can prevent your children from watching specific pro-
grammes by specifying a programme classification.
Select the
System Setting
>
Parental Control
menu.
You
should see a screen like the
left figure, and you will be
asked your Personal Identifica-
tion Number (PIN). The number
is initially set to ‘0000’.
If you wish to block 15 or above rated programmes, set the
Censorship
option to
15 (age)
. Setting it to
No block
blocks no
programme; on the other hand, setting it to
Total block
blocks
every programme.
NOTE
If a programme does not have any programme classification
information, your censorship setting will not take effect.
If anyone is trying to watch a programme that is of or above
the censorship setting, the person has to enter the personal
identification number to override.
To change the number, select the
Change PIN Code
menu; then
an input box appears. You have to enter a desired number
twice for confirmation.
