Blocking Movie Ratings
Once you are in the Movie Ratings menu, follow the same steps described for blocking TV ratings.
V-Chip Unrated Program Block
This option lets you decide if programs that the V-Chip recognizes as “unrated” can be viewed. “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.
Press the down arrow to highlight V-Chip unrated. Then press the right arrow to switch between Block and View.
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 the MENU button, then select Parental Control (the password
entry screen appears). Simultaneously press and hold CH+ and VOL+ on the television for 3
seconds. Parental Controls unlock and the Parental Control menu appears so you can enter a new
password.
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. When using this as a Parental Control method, 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.
PIP (Picture-in-Picture) and POP (Picture-outside-Picture) Operation
The PIP (picture-in-picture) feature lets you display a second, smaller picture on top of the main
picture. POP (picture-outside-picture) lets you display two windows side by side.
Note: PIP and POP are not available for DVI or component video sources (CMP1 or CMP2).
