Parental Control
The PARENTALCTRLand CHANCTRLfunctions let you lock out
any channels between 1 and 99 that you choose so they
cannot be viewed by your children.
Channels that have been locked out can be viewed only
when the PARENTALCTRLfunction is set to OFF. This can
only be done with the remote control-it can not be changed
with the buttons on the front of the TV. Therefore, after
you turn on PARENTALCTRL,yOU simply hide the remote
control so that your children can not watch the locked-out
channels.
The locked-out channels will remain unviewable even if
the TV is unplugged or the channels are autoprogrammed
again. The only way to view locked-out channels is to use
the remote control to set the PARENTALCTRLfunction to OFF.
