The Parental Control Function (V-Chip) is used to block program viewing based on the ratings sent by the broad-
casting station. The default setting is to allow all programs to be viewed. Viewing can be blocked by choosing the
type of the program and the categories. It is also possible to block all program viewing for a time period. To use
this function, the following must be done :
1. Set ratings and categories to be blocked.
2. Specify a password
3. Enable the lock
