Setting parental 
controls
Parental controls let you prevent your children from 
watching inappropriate material on TV. When set, 
parental controls read the rating of the program (with 
some exceptions, such as news and sports) and deny 
access to programs that exceed the ratings level you 
select. To watch programs that exceed the selected 
rating, you must enter a password.
