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.

The front panel 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 it will be blocked.
Don’t forget to lock parental controls after you change the status of
Channel Block. If you do not, the 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 small children from playing with the buttons.
(When using this as a Parental Control method, you should remove
access to any remote capable of controlling the front panel while you
have the front panel blocked.)
Don’t forget to lock parental controls after you change the status of
Front Panel Block. If you do not, the 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, press and hold TV on the remote and the
MENU button on the television simultaneously for 3 seconds. Parental
controls will unlock and you can re-enter a password via Lock Parental
Controls.
