Parental Control
With the Parental Control, parents can prevent their children
from watching inappropriate TV programs, VCR or DVD
contents. When an attempt is made to watch a program (or
content) blocked by parents, the Plasma Display shows
nothing but a message. The Parental Control functions for both
conventional and digital TV channels.
In the U.S. three rating systems have been provided: the TV
ratings, TV Parental Guidelines, and movie ratings. Movie
ratings are provided by the Motion Picture Association of
America (MPAA) and are used for original movies not edited
for television.
For the rating system in Canada, see pages 41 and 42.
NOTE
• In the U.S. TV Parental Guideline Rating System, programs
with a rating of “None” may be blocked on this product.
Examples of programs with a “None” rating include:
• Emergency Bulletins (such as EAS messages, weather
warning and others)
• Locally originated programming
•News
•Political
• Public Service Announcements
•Religious
• Sports
•Weather
Voluntary movie rating system (MPAA)
NOTE
• The voluntary movie rating system only uses an age-based
rating.
TV ratings

• The system also allows you to select “None”, which blocks
programs with a rating of “None”. For the examples of such
programs, see “NOTE” on the left column on this page.
