violates a Parental Control. You find Parental Controls by going to Messages &
Setup, selecting My Preferences, then Parental Controls. You can also reach
Parental Controls by selecting the padlock icon in the large version ofthe Channel
Banner. (See page 8 in "Introductions & What's New While Watching Programs.")
