Using the Parental
Control Feature
The TV programs and movies shown on TV are
given a rating signal based on the following rating
systems.
In U.S.A.: U.S. Television Parental Guidelines to
rate television programs (U.S. TV ratings), and
Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)
Guidelines to rate movies including those shown on
TV (movie ratings).
In Canada: Canadian English Language ratings to
rate television programs in English, and Canadian
French Language ratings to rate those in French.
To block programs you feel unsuitable for your
children, you need to set the TV for the desired
rating systems. Sony’s predetermined ratings are also
available. See page 46 for a description of the
ratings.
The TV’s Parental Control feature functions by
receiving the rating signal from your local
broadcasting station or cable service provider.
