Program Rating Lock
MENU > Broadcasting > Program Rating Lock
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 Blu-ray players, DVD players, or USB files.
Every time you access the Program Rating Lock feature, you must enter the security PIN. You must
also enter this PIN to watch a blocked program. The default PIN is 0000. To change the PIN, go to
System > Change PIN.
The Program Rating Lock is available only in TV mode.
