Child locks
To prevent children from watching a channel or a programme,
you can lock channels or lock age-rated programmes.
Parental rating
Some digital broadcasters have rated their programmes. When
the rating is equal or higher than the rating you have set for your
child's age, the programme will be locked.
To watch a locked programme you must enter the child lock
code. The parental age rating is set for all channels.
Set an age rating
Press h and select Setup > Channel settings and select Child
lock > Parental rating.
To select an age rating, you must first enter your 4-digit child
lock code. If no child lock code is set, you can set the code
now.
When the code is entered, you can select the age rating. When
the rating of a programme is equal or higher than the rating you
have set for your child's age, the programme will be locked. The
TV will ask for the code to unlock the programme. For some
operators, the TV only locks programmes with a higher rating.
Lock a channel
To lock a channel, press h and select Setup > Channel settings
and select Child lock > Channel lock. In the list of channel
numbers, select a channel and press OK to lock a channel.
In the list, a locked channel is marked with an X. Now, you can
select another channel to lock or unlock. The lock is activated as
soon as you close the menu.
You cannot lock programmes from connected devices.
Change code
To change the current lock code, press h and select Setup >
Channel settings and select Child lock > Change code.
Enter the current code and then enter the new code twice. The
new code is set.

Sleep timer
With the sleep timer, you can set the TV to switch to standby
automatically after a specified time.
To set the sleep timer, press h > Setup > TV settings >
Preferences > Sleep timer. With the slider bar you can set the
time up to 180 minutes in increments of 5 minutes. If set to 0
minutes, the sleep timer is switched off.
You can always switch off your TV earlier or reset the time
during the countdown.
