Blocking Unrated/Exempt Programs

The Unrated/Exempt Prog. option lets you decide if programs that the
V-Chip recognizes as unrated can be viewed. Unrated TV programs may
include news, sports, political, religious, local and weather programs,
emergency bulletins, public announcements, and programs without
ratings. The Exempt option applies to both USA and Canadian unrated
programs and Canadian programs rated E.
View All unrated programs are available.
Block All unrated programs are not available.
Note: You must remember to activate V-Chip for rating limits to
take effect.
Press the down arrow button to highlight Unrated/Exempt Prog. Then
press the right arrow button to toggle between View and Block.

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 the MENU button, then select Parental
Control (the password entry screen appears). Simultaneously press and
hold CH+ and VOL+ on the front panel for 8 seconds. Parental Controls
unlock and the Parental Control menu appears. You can enter a new
password by locking the Parental Controls again.
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. When using this as a
Parental Control method, 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
don't, the front panel block will not take effect.
