Locking and Unlocking Programs
Locking by Channels or by Rating
1. In the Settings category, scroll to the Parental Controls card, and press OK.
2. Choose settings. You’ll be taken to the Parental Controls menu. Use the right ar-
row to choose either TV Ratings, Movie Ratings or Lock By Channel.
3. Each card contains a list of the rating systems or a list of channels. Scroll to the
format or channel you want to control.
Lock the rating or channel by choosing it, and then pressing OK on the remote.
When you lock a rating, all ratings for more restrictive content are also locked. For
example, if you lock the TVPG rating, then the TV14 and TVMA ratings are also
locked automatically, because these ratings are for more mature audiences than
TVPG. When unlocking, the reverse is also true.
If the V-Chip in your TV is enabled, you may see a black screen after tuning to a
channel with blocked content. No menu, fl ip bar, sound effects, or any other audio
or video are shown or heard. To correct this, change to an unblocked channel, or
disable all V-Chip functions and use the parental control features provided by the
system to regulate viewing.
