With the selections in My Preferences, you can make the recorder work more to your liking: you can set Parental Controls and your default Record Quality, customize channel lists, turn on Save Disk Space, and set a number of other options.
Parental Controls
Parental Controls allow you to set limits on movie and television ratings and to lock specific channels so that a password is required to view them. If you try to watch a program in Now Playing that violates a Parental Control, you will also be asked for the password. In addition, when Parental Controls are on, you must enter a password to delete a program that violates a Parental Control. While Parental Controls are on, you can watch a locked program or channel by pressing SELECT, then entering the Parental Controls password. (The large version of the channel banner has a shortcut to Parental Controls; see page 28 for details. )
