Using the TV’s Features
Chapter 3 55
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.
Web Browser Block
Selecting this option lets you decide if the web browser can be accessed.
Block Web Browser Need a password to view web content when
TV is locked.
View Web Browser Web browser is accessible without a
password when TV is locked.
Make sure the TV is locked. If you do not, Web Browser Block will not
block browser access even if you set Block Web Browser.

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 more than an hour (for
example, a power outage) the buttons become unblocked.

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 to tune to when you press the VCR,
DVD, or SAT/CAB button on the remote control. This is especially useful
for going directly to an input like a 1394 input.
Note: AUX by default is set up for a second RCA VCR. Or, you can
program VCR or AUX to operate a second RCA VCR with the 2001 code.
Also, any VCR programmed to the AUX button becomes “VCR2” button
and controllable by auto tuning.
1. Press MENU (the MAIN MENU appears)
2. Highlight Connections and press OK.
3. Highlight Auto Tuning and press OK
4. Highlight the component button field and continually press OK to
scroll through the selection of inputs.
The choices and a brief explanation follow:
Not Connected Choose this if you don’t have this particular
component connected to the TV, or if you don’t want the TV to
automatically tune to the correct channel when you press one of the
component buttons on the remote.
