We want you to relax and enjoy BT TV. So we’ve made sure that you can 
control who watches what. You do this by setting up a PIN.
How can I set my PIN?
You’ll need to choose a PIN when you first set up your BT Vision+ box. 
And you might need to enter it from time to time, so make sure you keep 
a note of it.
You can change your PIN by pressing 
 on your remote > Help & 
Settings then choosing Settings, then Parental Controls.
Locking On Demand lm and TV ratings
1
  Say you want to allow only 12-rated programmes. Go to the Parental 
Controls menu under Help & Settings, choose the Age Ratings option 
and press 
 on your remote.
2  Next, choose 15-rated programmes. All the programmes 15-rated and 
above will be locked, leaving the 12-rated and below unlocked.
Watching age rated programmes during the day
You’ll always be asked to enter your PIN if you try to watch a live 
programme with an age rating of 12 or above between 5.30am and 8pm.
Locking your account
This stops unauthorised people from using the PIN-protected areas  
of BT TV. If your PIN is entered incorrectly three times, the account is 
temporarily locked. To get your PIN reset, call BT Technical Support on 
0800 111 4567.
Locking On Demand rentals
To set a PIN prompt for any payments, choose Rental Lock from the 
Parental Controls menu. Select Lock Rentals from the Rental Lock pop-up, 
then 
 to save the selection and exit.
Locking and unlocking TV channels
1
  From the TV Settings screen under Help & Settings, choose Channel 
Management. You’ll see a menu showing all your BT TV channels (TV, 
Radio and Subscription channels).
2
  In Manage Channels, you can PIN-protect channels you don’t want 
your children to see by selecting a channel and pressing the yellow 
button. You’ll see a padlock symbol next to the title, which means you 
can still see the channel in your TV Guide, but won’t be able to watch 
it without entering your PIN. You can record locked channels but you’ll 
need to enter your PIN to watch them.
3
  You can also hide channels from your TV Guide in Manage Channels. 
Choose a channel from the list, then press Select to change it between 
On/Off.  If you want to add the channel back again, you’ll need to enter 
your PIN.

How can I change screen dimensions and resolution?
Press 
 on your remote, then select Help & Settings > TV Settings > 
Display Settings and choose from the options available. Then press Save.
How do I turn on Subtitles or Audio Description?
There are two ways to switch on subtitles or audio description for  
digital TV channels:
1
  Temporary switch: Press the   button on your remote control 
to toggle subtitles ON or OFF and the   button to toggle audio 
description ON or OFF. Your choices will be lost when your BT Vision+ 
box is put into standby or switched off. 
2
  Permanent switch: Under Help & Settings > Settings > Accessibility 
Settings, you can choose to set subtitles and audio description as ON 
or OFF. Your choices will be saved even after your BT Vision+ box is put 
into standby or switched off. 
The audio description volume is automatically set to the highest level, so 
it can easily be heard over the standard TV sound. But, you might find it 
more comfortable to turn the volume down for quieter programmes. To do 
this, select Audio Description Volume under Accessibility Settings.
