There are three steps you must perform when setting up Parental Control: 

1. Select locks. 
2. Turn on the locks.
3. Create a PIN that allows only you to turn off the locks.

This article covers how to turn on Parental Control.

Turn on blocks: When you turn on Parental Control, you are turning on, or activating the blocks you've selected (such as Blocked Channels, Blocked Ratings, Blocking Time Periods, and Hiding Adult Titles). Turning on Parental Control without selecting blocks will have no effect. 

Parental Control PIN: The first time you attempt to turn on Parental Control, you will see the PIN Entry popup box. Follow the prompts to create a 4-digit PIN. The PIN is required to turn on, turn off, or change Parental Controls.
