Parental Control
The Parental Control feature is designed to help parents monitor what 
their children watch on television. This section shows you the different 
rating systems available and how to set your TV’s rating limit.
Overview of the Ratings
Once you have become familiar with these rating systems, you should be 
ready to set your TV’s rating limit.
TV Ratings
The TV ratings are divided into two groups: age-based and 
content-based.
The content ratings will increase depending on the level of the age-based 
rating. For example, a program with a TV-PG V (Violence) rating may contain 
moderate violence, while a TV-14 V (Violence) rating may contain intense 
violence.
