Setting Viewing Restrictions
The Viewing Restrictions screen lets you select the Parental Rating 
categories you want to restrict, so that those who do not know your 
PIN cannot watch programmes broadcast at a restricted classification.
1. From the Parental Control screen, highlight ‘Viewing 
Restrictions’, then press select.
The Viewing Restrictions screen displays.
The classification categories you can restrict are explained below:
◆ A ✔ symbol next to the classification category indicates that it is 
not restricted.
◆ A   symbol next to the classification category indicates that it 
is restricted.
If you restrict a classification category, this means that whenever a 
programme is broadcast with that classification, you must enter your 
PIN before you can watch it. You must also use your PIN to watch a 
recording of a programme with a restricted classification category.
When you restrict a classification category, all the classification 
categories above it are automatically restricted.
R For adult viewers aged 18 and over.
AV For adult viewers only - violent content.
MA For viewers aged 15 or over - children under 15 
are not permitted to watch MA programmes 
unless in the company of a parent or adult 
guardian.
M Recommended for viewers aged 15 years or over. 
PG Parental guidance is recommended as to the 
suitability of the film for children under 15.
