Using the TV’s Features

Front Button Block
Selecting this option lets you block (disable) or unblock (enable) the TV’s
front buttons. 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 on the TV.
(When using this as a
Parental Control
method, you should remove
access to any remote that is capable of operating the television.)
Don’t forget to lock the TV after you select
Blocked
. If you do not, the
front panel block will not take effect.
Note:
If power to the TV is lost for an extended period, the buttons
become unblocked. Blocking the front buttons does not disable the
front input jacks.
Auto Tuning Feature
The way you set up the
Auto Tuning
feature in the TV’s menu
corresponds to the component buttons on the remote and the way you
have each component connected to your TV. When you set auto tuning,
you’re telling the TV what channel or input to tune to when you press
the VCR, DVD, AUDIO, or SAT/CAB button on the remote control. This is
especially useful for going directly to an input like HDMI/DVI.
Notes:
The AUX button by default is set up for a second RCA VCR. If you
need to reprogram the AUX button, or instead want to program the VCR
button, use the 2001 code. Then use the VCR2 option in the auto tuning
menu to set auto tuning.
If you have two RCA satellite receivers, you can control each separately.
Program the second receiver with the AUX button using the 5001 code.
Then use the RCA SAT2 option in the auto tuning menu to set auto tuning.

remote. Reminder: make sure the component’s Channel 2/3 or 3/4 switch
is set to match the channel you choose in

Press OK to block (disable) the buttons on the front of the TV.
Only the remote or keyboard will control the TV.
When the buttons on the TV are blocked and the TV is
locked, only the remote or keyboard will control the TV.
This keeps children from playing with the buttons. It also
keeps children from watching TV when a guardian is not
present (you must hide the remote for this to be effective.)
Note: If power to the TV is lost for a prolonged time (e.g.,
due to a power outage) the buttons become unblocked.
