(Blocks the signal sent by the equipment, such as a VCR, con-nected to the TV Audio/Video input jacks; in the Aux. Block option.) Or leave unblocked, then choose allowable ratings.• Block program “Content” based on individual parameters such as: Strong Dialog, Bad Language, Sex Scenes, ViolenceScenes, or Fantasy Violence Scenes; in the Content Blk option.• How many hours do you want Parental Control to be active? You can set the Hours option for up to 12 hours.• Select a secret password; in the Set Password option. Use the number keys on the remote.
