Parental Control 

With the Parental Control, parents can prevent their children 

from watching inappropriate TV programs, VCR or DVD 

contents. When an attempt is made to watch a program (or 

content) blocked by parents, the Plasma Display shows 

nothing but a message. The Parental Control functions for both 

conventional and digital TV channels.
In the U.S. three rating systems have been provided: the TV 

ratings, TV Parental Guidelines, and movie ratings. Movie 

ratings are provided by the Motion Picture Association of 

America (MPAA) and are used for original movies not edited 

for television.
For the rating system in Canada, see pages 41 and 42.

NOTE

• In the U.S. TV Parental Guideline Rating System, programs 

with a rating of “None” may be blocked on this product. 

Examples of programs with a “None” rating include:

• Emergency Bulletins (such as EAS messages, weather 

warning and others)

• Locally originated programming
• News
• Political
• Public Service Announcements
• Religious
• Sports
• Weather

NOTE

• The voluntary movie rating system only uses an age-based 

rating.

NOTE

• The system also allows you to select “None”, which blocks 

programs with a rating of “None”. For the examples of such 

programs, see “NOTE” on the left column on this page.
