Settings Parental Controls

Parents or guardians may control the playing of content and the use of features on your system.

Setting your passcode

First, you must set a password called a passcode. You must enter the passcode when you adjust the parental control settings or whenever you change them.
When you are prompted to enter the passcode, enter the four-digit number and select [OK].

If you forget your passcode, you must restore your system. Handle your passcode with care. Do not forget it and do not let third parties obtain it.

Content

Parents or guardians can limit the starting of applications or the playing of content, such as video content, with parental control restrictions.
In addition to [Off], eleven levels can be set. The restriction will be tighter when you set the lower numbers. [9] is the default setting.
Whether or not an application can be started or content can be played is determined by the combination of the level set on your system and the level set on the application or the content to be played.
