Parental Guide
This feature allows parents to block certain programs from being
viewed, based on the programs’ rating. In order to access this menu, you
must first enter a pass code. The factory default is 6688. With
Parental
Guide
highlighted in red, use the number buttons to enter the pass code.
If this turns the Parental Guide off, press the right arrow key until Parental
Guide is On. With Parental Guide on, press the right arrow key to access the
TV Rating grid.
TV-Rating
Using the up & down arrow keys to navigate between the ratings, press
the MENU key to block out a particular rating completely. Or, if you wish,
press the down arrow key to highlight an individual rating (anywhere a
U
is displayed in the middle of the grid.) Pressing the MENU key with one of
these individual ratings highlighted will block only programs that feature
that particular aspect. See the TV rating diagram at right for an example. TV
ratings are defined in the charts below:
MPAA-Rating
Press the right arrow key with
Parental Guide
highlighted until the MPAA-
Rating screen appears. Use the up & down arrow keys to navigate between
the MPAA ratings. Pressing the MENU key with a rating highlighted will block
that particular rating from being shown on this TV. A
B
will show in red next
to the blocked rating. Please note that blocking a lower rating (for example,
PG) will block all higher ratings (PG-13, R, NC-17, X.)
Pass code Menu
This menu allows you to change the access code for the Parental Guide
functions of the TV set. Press the MENU key when Pass Code Control is
highlighted. This will turn on or off the Pass Code function. With the Pass
Code function ON, you can also change the Pass Code. Use the down arrow
key to highlight
Pass Code
, then enter the new Pass Code using the numeric
keypad. Press the left arrow key when finished.
Notes:
• The factory default pass code of 6688 is also the override code, in case
you forget your new pass code.
• The factory defaults have TV-MA and MPAA-X ratings blocked.
