Operating Instructions

The PARENTAL CONTROL feature is designed to help parents monitor 
what their children watch on television. This section shows you the 
different rating systems available and how to set your TV’s rating.

Once you have become familiar with these rating systems, you should be 
ready to set your TV’s rating.

The TV ratings are divided into two groups: age-based and 
content-based.

The content ratings will increase depending on the level of the age-based 
rating. For example, a program with a TV-PG V (Violence) rating may contain 
moderate violence, while a TV-14 V (Violence) rating may contain more 
intense violence.
