Applying Parental Controls

The television enables you to control the display of certain types of shows, movies, and channels, such as programs
received on the antenna input and cable input.
NOTE: If you have a set-top cable box (STB) or satellite receiver not connected to the television's antenna
input or cable input, you cannot use the television's controls to block programs for this source.
You must use whatever controls are provided by the cable or satellite equipment.

Setting Permission Levels

By using the standard ratings associated with many television shows and movies, the television can block the types of
content you do not want to view. By setting a lock at a certain television or movie rating, you block shows or movies
that exceed that rating.
TIP: If you want to watch a blocked program, you can temporarily suspend the parental controls if you know the
password. See "Temporarily Suspending Controls" on page 33.
