WHAT ARE PARENTAL CONTROLS? Parental controls allow you to password-protect programming based on ratings, or on a channel-by-channel basis. When you have locked the receiver: • If you try to access a locked item or open the Locks menu, the receiver displays a message prompting you to enter the password. • The receiver allows you three attempts to enter the correct password. If you fail to enter the correct password, the receiver does not allow you to try again for several minutes. • If you enter the correct password, you can access the locked item or open the Locks menu. • If you exit a locked item or close the Locks menu, you must enter the password to access the item again. Locking the receiver is a two-step process: 1 Create the parental controls that you want. • Ratings Locks—locks programs based on ratings. • Channel Locks—locks channels regardless of content. • Lock PPV—prevents unauthorized pay-per-view ordering. • Hide Adult or Hide Locked—hides adult channels or locked channels from being displayed in the Program Guide and other channel lists. • Front Panel Lock—prevents the front panel buttons from being used. 2 Lock the receiver. When the receiver is locked, anyone who wants to access locked items must enter the password. Parental ControlsParental Controls Creating or Changing Ratings Locks CREATING OR CHANGING RATINGS LOCKS You can lock programs based on Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) ratings (PG, PG-13, etc.) and expanded ratings (violence, language, etc.). 1 Press MENU and select Locks. 2 If the receiver is locked, enter the password using the NUMBER PAD. Select OK. 3 Select Ratings Locks. 4 Highlight the least restrictive rating that you want to block. Press SELECT to lock the highlighted rating and all ratings more restrictive than it (for example, locking PG-13 automatically locks R and NC-17). MPAA Ratings G—General Audiences. A G-rated motion picture contains nothing in theme, language, nudity, sex, violence or other matters that, in the view of the Rating Board, would offend parents whose younger children view the motion picture. The G rating is not a “certificate of approval,” nor does it signify a “children’s” motion picture. Some snippets of language may go beyond polite conversation but they are common everyday expressions. No stronger words are present in G-rated motion pictures. Depictions of violence are minimal. No nudity, sex scenes, or drug use are present in the motion picture. PG—Parental Guidance Suggested. Some Material May Not Be Suitable For Children. A PG-rated motion picture should be investigated by parents before they let their younger children attend. The PG rating indicates, in the view of the Rating Board, that parents may consider some material unsuitable for their children, and parents should make that decision. The more mature themes in some PG-rated motion pictures may call for parental guidance. There may be some profanity and some depictions of violence or brief nudity. But these elements are not deemed so intense as to require that parents be strongly cautioned beyond the suggestion of parental guidance. There is no drug use content in a PG-rated motion picture. 37 Chapter 6Chapter 6 Creating or Changing Ratings Locks PG-13—Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May Be Inappropriate For Children Under 13. A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category.
