V-Chip Unrated Program Block

Selecting this option lets you decide if programs that the
V-Chip recognizes as "unrated" can be viewed. Note that
"unrated" TV programs may include news, sports,
political, religious, local and weather programs,
emergency bulletins, public announcements, and
programs without ratings.
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.

Channel Block

Selecting this option lets you decide what channels can
be viewed.
View Makes the selected channel viewable.
Block The front panel and remote control CH
(channel) buttons will tune only to channels that you
have marked as View. The remote will still tune to
the blocked channel if you use the digits to access
the channel, but the channel will be blocked.
Don't forget to lock parental controls after you change
the status of Channel Block. If you do not, the channel
block will not take effect.
Note: If you have a digital cable box channels
126-999 can be blocked but will not be
removable from your scan list.

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.
