Blocking Movie Ratings

Once you are in the

 menu, follow the same steps 

described for blocking Canadian ratings.

Block Channels   

Turn this option on to block the channel you choose in the 

Select 

channel

 option.

Use the number buttons to enter the channel you want to block, then 
press the down arrow button. Press OK to place a check mark in 
the 

Block channel

 box to block the channel. When you tune to that 

channel you'll need to enter a password to view the channel if the TV 
is locked.

Front Panel Block 

Select this option to block (disable) or unblock (enable) the TV’s front 
panel buttons so that they can't be used by someone, like a young 
child. The remote still tunes to any channel. If you're using this to 
keep children from changing channels, 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 don’t, the front panel block will not take effect.
