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.
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 control
settings using a password.
If you do not lock parental controls, none of the settings for V-Chip
Rating Limits or Unrated Programs will take effect.
Once you have set your password, the V-Chip Rating Limit and
Unrated Programs settings become active. If you try to access a
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.
To unlock the parental controls you must use your password to
access the PARENTAL CONTROLS menu.

2. Continuously press 1 until the rating you want to change
appears as the rating.

blocked, you can change the rating status button corresponding
with NC-17. Your child would then be able to watch all movies
with a G, PG, and NC-17 rating.
