When viewing channels, if a blocked channel is selected the TV will ask for your password. Enter your password to view the channel.

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 monitor is "0000." First enter "0000" when you want to change the password. If you forget your password, please enter 6163 to reset.
