Parental Lock Menu
This special feature allows you to lock the TV during a certain time period or
lock individual channels by entering a 4 digit passcode. If you try to view a
locked channel or the locking time period begins, the screen will show a
message, asking you to enter the secret code. If you don’t enter the code
within five minutes, the TV will turn off or change to an unlocked channel.
If you enter your secret code, the message will disappear and the lock will be
turned off temporarily. However, the channels will be locked again after you
turn off the TV unless you permanently cancel the lock.
