Setting Parental Controls

The HDT101 offers two options for parental controls:

• V-Chip – blocks programming based on movie and TV ratings

systems.

• Channel Lock – blocks a channel or channels so it cannot be

viewed without a password. This can be done independently for

each channel.

V-Chip

You can use the V-Chip technology to block certain types of

programming from being viewed. The V-Chip settings are based on the

MPAA (Motion Picture Advisory Association) and TV ratings systems.

Once you set the rating limit in the V-Chip Setup menu, programming at

or beyond that rating limit cannot be viewed.

To configure your V-Chip settings:

1 Press MENU on the remote control. The main menu is displayed.

2 Highlight Installation and press SELECT. The Password window is

displayed.

3 Enter your four-digit password. If you have not yet created your own

password, enter the default password: 0000. The Installation menu is

displayed.

If you wish to change your password, see “Changing Your

Password” on page 32.

4 Highlight V-Chip Setup and press SELECT. The V-Chip Setup

window is displayed.

5 Press the STW X keys to highlight the desired rating limit(s) and

then press SELECT. The Lock symbol is displayed next to your

selections.

See “Understanding V-Chip Ratings” on page 28 for information

about MPAA Ratings, TV Ratings, and Content Themes.

6 When finished, press EXIT twice to exit the on-screen menu.

If a program or movie is blocked by the V-Chip, the following message is

displayed when someone attempts to view the program or movie:

Program is rating blocked by V-Chip Settings.
