Toshiba's Panel Lock feature allows you to save your settings on your television so that no one else may change them and only the On/Off switch may be utilized from the TV's front panel. Parents may find this option useful to prevent children from accessing programs containing violence and other inappropriate content. Once you turn this feature on, certain steps must be followed to turn it off again.
