Parental Control
The PARENTAL CTRL and CHAN
CTRL functions let you lock any
channels you choose so they cannot
be viewed by your children.
Channels that have been locked can
be viewed only when the
PARENTAL CTRL function is set to
OFF. This can only be done with the
remote control–it can not be changed
with the buttons on the front of the
TV. Therefore, after you turn on
PARENTAL CTRL, you simply hide
the remote control so that your
children can not watch the locked
channels. An optional simplified
remote (shown on page 37) is also
available that your children can use.
The simplified remote does not allow
access to the locked channels.
The locked-out channels will remain
unviewable even if the TV is
unplugged or the channels are
autoprogrammed again. The only
way to view locked channels is to use
the supplied remote control to set the
PARENTAL CTRL function to OFF.
Note: Channels above 99 cannot be locked.
The PARENTAL CTRL and the CHAN
CTRL functions work hand-in-hand.
The instructions below will first tell
you how to turn parental control on or
off with the PARENTAL CTRL function
and then how to lock desired channels
with the CHAN CTRL function.
1. Repeatedly press MENU•PROG to
select SETUP MENU, and then press
+ or – to display setup functions.
Repeatedly press MENU•PROG to
select the PARENTAL CTRL
function.
• When this function is set to ON,
PARENTAL CTRL is activated and
any channels you locked with the
CHAN CTRL function will not be
viewable.
• When this function is set to OFF,
PARENTAL CTRL is deactivated
and all channels are viewable.
2. To lock channels, press the
MENU•PROG button to select the
CHAN CTRL function.
Select a channel you want to lock by
pressing CHAN up or down. Then
press +. The CHAN CTRL setting
will change from NORMAL to
LOCKED when that channel is
locked. To return the channel to
NORMAL, press the – button.
Repeat step 2 for each channel you
want to lock.
If the PARENTAL CTRL function is
set to ON while you are locking out
channels, each channel will go
blank as you lock it.
When the PARENTAL CTRL
function is set to ON and a channel
which has been locked out is tuned,
the TV will display the words
PARENTAL CONTROL to let your
kids know you have locked it.
