Quick tour - Parental Controls and KidZone
Your TiVo DVR gives you two great ways to make sure your family has access to only those
shows you want them to watch.
• Use Parental Controls to set limits on movie and television ratings, to lock specific channels,
and to prevent viewing of recorded shows that violate the settings you choose.
• Use KidZone to set up an environment where only age-appropriate channels and recordings
are available. Children cannot set up new recordings or change any settings on the TiVo
DVR.
Note: KidZone is available only when you use TiVo with SD menus, not when you use TiVo
with HD menus. See page 1 for information on switching from TiVo with HD menus to TiVo
with SD menus.
Using Parental Controls
From the TiVo Central screen, choose ‘Settings & Messages,’ then ‘Settings,’ then ‘Parental
Controls.’ (Or, select the padlock icon from the large channel banner.)

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