TV locks available from the 

Lock menu are:

Lock by Ratings
Restrict access to programming 
based on V-Chip rating signals sent 
by the broadcaster.

Lock by Time
Restrict TV use by time of day.

Lock Control Panel
Disable the buttons on the TV’s 
control panel.  Use this option if 
small children in the home try to 
press control-panel buttons.

Note:  Channel Lock is an additional lock that blocks 

access to specific channels.  Channel Lock is 
available under the 

Setup menu (Setup > Edit 

> 

Lock, page 45).

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, then press  .  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 set 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 or channel is blocked, you can still 

•

use the TV without entering a pass code.  The lock 
allows you to 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.  Turn on blocking for U.S. ratings 
to activate these rating restrictions.  Use the 

Lock > 

Parent 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.

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 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 
broadcast with an alternate system.

•

Parent menu rating locks apply only to channels 
and signals received on 

ANT 1, ANT 2, and the 

VIDEO composite and S-VIDEO jacks.

•

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

ANT 1 or ANT 2.

•  When viewing a cable box, satellite receiver, or

other device connected to the component 

Pr or HDMI inputs, check the device’s owner’s 
guide for use of parental locks.
