It lets you program your ]Vso it will notdisplay certain programs. You can "unblock" programs by entering a password. Broadcasters are not required toprovide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block theirage-based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of "not rated," and programsthat are considered "unrated" because no code has been sent by the broadcaster.When the Parental Controls feature is turned ON the software reads a code that most broadcasters sendwith programs.
