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.
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, simultaneously press and hold MENU on the
television and volume down on the remote for 3 seconds. Nothing appears on
the screen, Parental Controls simply unlock and you can re-enter a password via
Lock Parental Controls.
