Operation Manual

Settings: Parental Controls
PIN protection
The box comes with a default PIN, 1234: we
recommend you change this when you set it
up (although you can do so at any time via
the Settings menu). To change your PIN in
Settings, select Parental Controls, then press
OK. Select the Change PIN option and follow
the on-screen instructions.
You can set up PIN protection on different
types of programmes to control who can
see what.
You may also have to enter a different
PIN if you want to watch paid for content:
the provider will advise you at the point
of purchase.
Changing your security
question
If you have forgotten your PIN, you can
opt to change it by answering a security
question. To modify the query, select
Change Security Question and follow
the instructions.
Make sure you memorise your PIN and
security questions. If you forget them,
you will need to perform a factory reset to
access the box and will lose your recorded
programmes and reminders.
Hiding adult content
By default, access to the Adult section in
On Demand is PIN protected, but you can
also hide such content from view so that it
doesn’t even appear in the menu.You can
deactivate this but first you must turn off
the restrictions on rated programmes.
Restricting Rated
Programmes
You can limit access to programmes
with certain ratings (such as 18) or that
has guidance labelling (for example,
programmes shown after the watershed).
If you set the Restrict Rated Programmes
option to ON, restrictions will be in place
before the watershed when accessing
content rated 15, 16, 18, plus programmes
and films that are guidance labelled.
You can customise the rating at which
restrictions apply.
Sharing information with
entertainment providers
Your parental control settings will be passed
to other content providers so that they can
implement the same content restrictions.
They may also wish to apply their own
constraints within their portals.
For peace of mind, your YouView+ box allows you to restrict access to any
programmes you believe are unsuitable for younger members of your household.
You will be asked to enter a PIN to access such content before the watershed.
