• There are 15 age-based
ratings, ranging from “4”

All”. For example, if the
parental lock is set to “8”
(years old), only the
services with parental
rating of “8” (years old)
and under will be viewable
without entering the

you set a new parental
rating.
You can set the new
parental rating only when
