V-Chip Unrated Program Block

Selecting this option lets you decide if programs that the V-Chip recognizes as
“unrated” can be viewed. Note that “unrated” TV programs may include news,
sports, political, religious, local and weather programs, emergency bulletins,
public announcements, and programs without ratings.

View

All unrated programs are available.

Block

All unrated programs are not available.

Note: You must remember to lock Parental Controls for rating limits to
take effect.

Channel Block

Selecting this option lets you decide what channels can be viewed.

View

Makes the selected channel viewable.

Block

The front panel and remote control CH (channel) buttons will tune

only to channels that you have marked as View. The remote will still tune to
the blocked channel if you use the digits to access the channel, but the
channel will be blocked.

Don’t forget to lock parental controls after you change the status of Channel
Block
. If you do not, the channel block will not take effect.

Front Panel Block

Selecting this option lets you block (disable) or unblock (enable) the TV’s front
panel. The remote still tunes to any channel. Front Panel Block can:

Keep children from watching TV when the parent is not present.

Keep young children from playing with the buttons.

(When using this as a Parental Control method, you should remove access to
any remote that is capable of operating the television while you have the front
panel blocked.)

Don’t forget to lock parental controls after you change the status. If you do not,
the front panel block will not take effect.

Lock/Unlock Parental Controls

Selecting this option lets you lock and unlock parental controls settings using a
password.

If you do not lock parental controls, none of the settings for V-Chip,
Channel Block, or Front Panel Block will take effect.

If you forget your password, simultaneously press and hold MENU/OK on the
television and the TV button on the remote for 3 seconds. Parental Controls
unlock and you can re-enter a password via Lock Parental Controls. Your
parental controls settings will not be affected.
