The Parental Control Function (V-Chip) is used to block program viewing based on the ratings sent by the
broadcast station. The default setting is to allow all programs to be viewed. Viewing can be blocked by
the 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.
