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.
Block All unrated programs are not available.
Note: You must remember to lock Parental Controls for rating limits to
take effect.
Channel Block
Selecting this option lets you decide what channels can be viewed.
View Makes the selected channel viewable.
Block The front panel and remote control 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 the
channel will be blocked.
Don’t forget to lock parental controls after you change the status of Channel
Block. If you do not, the channel block will not take effect.
Note: If you have a digital cable box channels 126-999 can be blocked
but will not be removable from your scan list.
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 young children from playing with the buttons.
(When using this as a Parental Control method, you should 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 do not,
the front panel block will not take effect.
