Setting a Pass Code
You are prompted to enter a pass code whenever you 
select 

Lock on the main menu.  To set a pass code for 

the first time:
1.  Press MENU.  Highlight Lock and press ENTER.  A 

screen prompting you for a pass code will display.

2.  Input a four-digit pass code using the number keys 

on the remote control.
•  Press 

CANCEL to delete a number and move 

back one space.

•  Press 

MENU or EXIT to close the menu without 

setting a pass code.

3.  Press ENTER to confirm the pass code.

Resetting a Pass Code
See the procedure in Appendix B.

•  If you try to watch a blocked program or channel 

or the TV is locked by time, a notice will appear 
prompting you for a pass code.  To use the TV, 
input your four-digit pass code and press 

ENTER.

 

-

To reactivate the locks after using a pass code, 
power the TV off and then on.

 

-

To reactivate only the parent ratings lock, 
change to a different channel or device.

•  If a program is blocked, you can still use the TV without 

entering a pass code.  Change to a channel airing an 
allowed program or change to another device.

The TV comes from the factory with the rating locks 
turned off and with pre-set U.S. ratings TV-PG and 
movie rating PG.  You must turn on blocking for U.S. 
ratings to activate these rating restrictions.  Use the 
Lock > Parental menu to change the level of blocking 
with U.S. ratings.

Any time you change the channel or device, it may take 
up to five seconds for the rating restrictions to take effect.

Note:  To set parental controls for programs from the 

VUDU™ movies service, use the VUDU Info & 

Settings menu.  The TV’s Parental menu does 
not control content received through VUDU.

This TV can recognize new rating systems that may 
come into effect in the future.  The 

Other menu allows 

you to block digital programming when such systems 
come into effect.  The 

Start Time and Stop Time 

options in the 

Parental menu apply to U.S.-based 

ratings only and do not affect alternate rating systems.

The first time you tune to a channel broadcasting an 
alternate rating system, the TV defaults to the most 
restrictive setting if the 

Lock menu > Other Lock 

option is set to 

On.  Use this menu to change the 

allowed rating if you are unable to watch a program 
rated with an alternate system.

•

Parental menu rating locks apply only to chan-
nels and signals received on the 

ANT and com-

posite 

VIDEO jacks.

•

Other menu rating locks apply only to digital chan-
nels received on 

ANT.

•  When viewing a cable box, satellite receiver,

or other device connected to the component 
Y Pb Pr or HDMI inputs, check the device’s 
owner’s guide for parental locks.
