Using Parental Control
What is Parental Control?
The Parental Control feature allows you to block programs by channel, program rating, or
time of day. You select the channels, ratings, or times to block from the General Settings
menu. You set up Parental Control and turn it on and off for the entire system by entering
your Personal Identification Number (PIN). When you turn the Parental Control feature
on, you cannot view blocked programs without entering your PIN.
A padlock symbol on the channel banner indicates that a channel or program is
blocked, or that a part of the program is blocked by time or rating.
You can turn off all Parental Control, or you can selectively unblock a single program,
channel, or time period.
When the Parental Control feature is off, an open or unlocked padlock symbol on
the channel banner identifies each channel or program that would be blocked if the
Parental Control feature were on.
