All unrated programs are available.
Block
No unrated programs are available.
“Unrated” TV programs may include news, sports, political,
religious, local, and weather programs, and public
announcements. Also, the first few seconds of a channel
with rated programming may be blocked (due to a brief
delay in transmission of the rating information).

Selecting this option lets you lock and unlock parental

You must lock Parental Controls for TV rating and content,
movie rating, and unrated program blocks to take effect.
If you forget your password, the password can be reset to
0000 by pressing and holding the volume down and the
channel up buttons simultaneously for five seconds. Using
this password, you can then access the V-Chip menus.

movies are given a rating of Not Rated
(NR). You can assign Block or View

Not all television programs are assigned
a rating (age-based rating). To assign
View or Block status to “unrated”
television programs, you must use the
Unrated Programs option from the
V-Chip Parental Controls menu.
