This feature allows parents to block certain programs from being

viewed, based on the programs' rating. In order to access this

menu, you must first enter a pass code. The factory default is 6688.

Enter the pass code while the Parental Guide is highlighted.  Now,

with Parental Guide set as On, press the right arrow key to access

the TV Rating grid. 

Using the up or down arrow key to navigate between the

ratings, press the MENU key to block out a particular rating

completely. Or, if you wish, press the down arrow key to

highlight an individual rating (anywhere a U is displayed in the

middle of the grid.) Pressing the MENU key with one of these

individual ratings highlighted will block only programs that

feature that particular aspect. See the TV rating diagram at

right for an example. TV ratings are defined in the charts

below:

Press the right arrow key while in the TV Rating grid to

access this grid. Use the up or down arrow key to navigate

between the MPAA ratings. Pressing the MENU key with a

rating highlighted will block that particular rating from being

shown on this TV. A B will show in red next to the blocked

rating. Please note that blocking a lower rating (for example,

PG) will block all higher ratings (PG-13, R, NC-17, X.)

This menu allows you to change the access code for the

Parental Guide functions of the TV set. Press the MENU key

when Pass Code Control is highlighted. This will turn on or off

the Pass Code function. With the Pass Code function ON,

you can also change the Pass Code. Use the down arrow key

to highlight Pass Code, then enter the new Pass Code using

the numeric keypad.
