Using the TV’s Features
24 Chapter 2
Front Panel Block
Select this option to block (disable) or unblock (enable) the TV’s front
panel buttons so that they can't be used by someone, like a young
child. The remote still tunes to any channel. If you're using this to
keep children from changing channels, 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.
Lock Time Menu
Turn this option on to lock the Time menu so that the time settings
can't be changed by someone, like a young child. Press OK to place a
check mark in the box to lock the Time menu. When you access the
Time menu you'll need to enter a password to view the channel.
Blocking Unrated/Exempt Programs
The Unrated/Exempt option lets you decide if programs that the
V-Chip recognizes as unrated or exempt can be viewed. Unrated TV
programs may include news, sports, political, religious, local and
weather programs, emergency bulletins, public announcements, and
programs without ratings. The Exempt option applies to both USA and
Canadian unrated programs and Canadian programs rated E.
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 button to highlight Unrated/Exempt. Then press
the right arrow button to toggle between View and Block.
Future Rating Region
You might notice an option in your Parental control menu that wasn't
there before. This is because broadcasters have the capability to add a
new rating system for TV programs.
