Problem accessing areas of menu

Hi betz73, I appreciate your suggestion about the parental control but I find no parental control except the v-chip and it is one of the areas I cannot access. Did I miss something? Thanks Paul

TV power button on my RCA True Flat 27" screen TV

RCA TVs come with a child lock capability called V-Chip. It's a parental control system which allows you to block programs and films by content, age-based ratings and the ratings which come with the movies. The parental control is a code, sent by the broadcaster to your television. The V-Chip will not work if the broadcaster doesn't send the control, or if the parental controls are switched off or unlocked. The controls are set up in the TV's main menu. The default is off.
From the main menu choose "Parental Controls;" it's option six.
Choose the first option, V-Chip TV Rating Limit, and using the arrow keys and the OK button on the remote, scroll through until the TV-MA rating appears. Press the right arrow button to move the highlight over to the "Status" field and toggle to "View." Press the OK button. This will set the age-based ratings to Mature.
From the Parental Controls menu, select the second option, V-Chip Movie Ratings Limit and change the rating to TV_MA and the "Status" to "View."
From the Parental Controls menu select the third option, V-Chip Unrated Program Block and select item one, which will be "View."
Select the fourth option, which is "Channel Block." Highlight the Channel field and using the channel up and down buttons, go through and check they are all set to 'View." Any set to "Block" will need to be toggled back to View.
Lock the controls to activate the changes using item six on the "Parental Controls" menu.

I want to impliment parental control exception for some some pc in our network

On the router you can block websites for all not just for one , you can block his mac address off the router but then he cannot access the network,
I suggest a antivirus/internet security which is installed on his pc to set parental control , i have seen this been done & implemented my self , its already pre-configured no extra settings needed.

You apply parental controls trough the browser , but it is easily bypassed by a literate it knowladge ,

on the machine you want to set the parental controls
- open "internet explorer" - click "tools" - click "internet properties" on the dropdown menu - click The "Content" tab - click "Parental Controls" - follow the wizard

* if you dont see tools option when You open the browser Press "alt" key , Make sure you have adminitrator privelages when setting this.

Thanx
