How do I use Parental Controls on my Link TV service?

Watch this tutorial to learn how to enable and set the Parental Controls on your Link TV service:

Modify Parental Controls Settings:

1. On the Menu, navigate to Settings, arrow over to Users and press OK. Enter your pin (defaults to 0000 unless otherwise changed in User settings) and press OK.
2. Arrow Down to Parental Control and press OK. Check the controls you want to activate for your family.
   • Movie Rating: Select the maximum movie rating you will allow (G is the most childappropriate, X-XXX is adult content).
   • TV Rating: Select the maximum rating for TV shows you will allow (TVY is most child-appropriate, TVMA is adult content).
   • Unlock Timeout: Set a timer for when the Parental Controls will unlock.
   • Block Unrated: Restrict all titles that do not have a rating associated with them.
   • S, V, L, F, D Check Boxes: Check here the type of content you would like to restrict.
3. Once you have finished your selections, arrow Down to Submit and press OK.
