Allows you to
hide the titles
of programs which exceed
your TV and Movie Ratings from appearing. When set to “Hide”, all locked content will

Search results.

being viewed without the parental password. Select from the available channels in the
left column, and press
ENTER
to move them into the right “Locked” column. Select a
channel from the right column and press
ENTER
to unlock it. Press

your list of locked channels.

CHANGE PASSWORD
[EDIT…]
:
Use this option to change your previously set parental
password. It is highly recommended you choose a unique password and change it often.
•
UNRATED PROGRAMS
[UNLOCKED, LOCKED]
:
Some programs, such as the nightly news,
sporting events, and other specially categorized programs do not include parental ratings.
By setting Unrated Programs to “locked”, any program without a parental rating will
require the password to view or access.
Locked content is indicated throughout the system with the closed “lock” icon.
USING PARENTAL CONTROLS
For maximum security, you may be prompted for your parental password up to three times while
attempting to unlock a program. First, you will need to enter your password to view the program
title and/or unlock the Program Options menu. Second, you will need to
enter your password
to
actually view the channel and unlock the picture and sound. Third, you will need to enter the
password again if you use
PAUSE
or
SKIP BACK
to enter the LOD buffer and watch the program
off the hard drive rather than live.
Programs which exceed one or more Parental Control setting will also be locked in the PVR or
Reminder Options and PVR or Reminder Upcoming menus and will require the password to view
or modify.
