The Program Rating Lock feature lets you block programs based on their ratings. This is useful for controlling what children watch on TV. Program Rating Lock does not
block programs originating from external sources, such as DVD players or USB files.
Every time you access the Program Rating Lock feature, you must enter a PIN. You must also enter this PIN to watch a blocked program. The default PIN is 0000.
To change the PIN, go to System Security Change PIN.
The Program Rating Lock is available only when you are watching broadcast, cable TV.
Blocking Programs Using the TV Rating
Locks and ratings are displayed in a table. To block content, select a rating entry to lock. All programs at that level and higher are blocked and require that you enter
the PIN to watch. To unblock a category, click the lock icon. To unblock all the categories in a row, click the lock under ALL.
