Block Buttons
Select this option to block (disable) or unblock (enable) the TV's side panel buttons so that they
can't be used. 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 side panel blocked. Don't forget to lock parental controls after you change the status.
If you don't, the Button Block action will not take effect.
Change Password
This option allows you to set a new V-Chip password. From the Parental Control Menu, highlight
and select Change Password. Using the digit keys, enter a new password and press OK. Re-enter
the new password again for verification and press OK to confirm.

Screen Formats
Screen format refers to the way the picture is displayed on your TV:.Press the FORMAT button on your
remote to see if a different format is available for the video you are viewing. The format changes as you
press the FORMAT button, and the format type is displayed at the top left of the screen.
Analog video is sent in a 4/3 format, which your TV displays in a 16/9 format. Most digital video is
sent in a 16/9 format which fills your screen, but it sometimes is sent in 4/3, which does not fill your
screen. It depends on how the station or component connected to your TV is formatting the video.
If there are bars on the screen, press the FORMAT button to try a different format that may eliminate
the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of the way the format is sent by the broadcaster.
Examples of the different formats for SD Video appear below.
