PARENTAL CONTROLS

Parental Controls help you make sure your family has access to only those shows you want 
them to watch. From the TiVo Central screen, choose ‘Settings & Messages,’ then ‘Parental 
Controls.’ (Or, select the padlock icon from the info banner.)

The padlock icon in the info banner shows the current state of Parental Controls.

Off No password or controls are set. The icon is dim and unlocked.
On Password and controls are set. The icon is locked.

Once Parental Controls are on, you must enter your Parental Controls password to change 
any Parental Controls settings.

TURN ON/OFF PARENTAL CONTROLS 

To turn Parental Controls on, use the number buttons on the remote control to enter a four-
digit password, then enter the same password again for confirmation. When you turn off 
Parental Controls, the password is deleted and anyone can view any shows or watch any 
channels.

HIDE ADULT CHANNELS

When this setting is on, adult shows do not appear in search results, and titles/descriptions 
of adult shows are hidden in the program guide and My Shows. You will need to enter the 
Parental Controls PIN to watch any adult content.

SET RATING LIMITS

Movies originally meant for release to theaters have a different rating system from shows 
made for TV. Use rating limits to set rules for both rating systems. 

Highlight the rating option, and then use the left/right arrows to change the rating limit.
