bulletins, public announcements, and programs without ratings.

Block The front panel and remote CH (channel) buttons will tune only
to channels that you have marked as View. You may tune to a blocked
channel manually by using the number buttons and entering the correct
password.

Block. If you do not, the channel block will not take effect.

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 small children from playing with the buttons.
(When using this as a Parental Control method, you should remove access to
any remote capable of controlling the front panel 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, press and hold TV on the remote and the MENU
button on the television simultaneously for 3 seconds. Parental controls will
then unlock and you can re-enter a password via Lock Parental Controls.
