Blocking Unrated TV Programs
Some TV programs are not rated but may contain material you do
not want your children to see. These programs must be blocked
separately.

toggle between View and Block.
Note that unrated programs may include news, sports,
political, religious, local and weather programs, emergency
bulletins, public announcements and programs without a
rating.
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
Rating Limit or Unrated Programs will take effect.

Once you have set your password, the V-Chip Rating Limit and

program that is blocked, the screen displays the message “This
channel has not been approved for viewing.” Follow the
instructions on the screen to enter your password and temporarily
override the rating limits.
