Age rating (for digital TV)
Most digital TV allows you to block content according to rating systems. The rating
system used is dependent on region, and is only available on digital channels. Analog
channels will not be blocked with this option.
The settings cover from 4 to 18 years of age. When you lock a category, the categories
for that age and younger will be blocked.
Change password
You can change the default password to a 4-digit code of your choice. If you are using
the parental controls, then we recommend you change the password periodically.
The default password for this TV is "0000." First enter "0000" when you want to
change the password. If you forget your password, please enter 6163 to reset.
