Turn this option on to block the channel you choose in the Select Channel option. Use the digit keys to enter the channel you want to block. Then press the down arrow to select Block Channel. Press the OK or right arrow button to place a checkmark in the Block Channel box to block the channel. When you tune to that channel, you'll need to enter a password to view the channel if parental control is locked.

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 Block Buttons action will not take effect.

Blocking Unrated/Exempt Programs

Note: You must remember to lock Parental Controls for rating limits to take effect.

Note:These ratings are available only if the broadcaster is sending them.

The Unrated/Exempt Ratings option lets you decide if programs that the V-Chip recognizes as unrated or exempt 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 US and Canadian unrated programs and Canadian programs rated E.

Press the down arrow to highlight Unrated/Exempt Ratings. Then press the OK button or the right arrow to toggle between View and Block.

View All unrated programs are available.

Block All unrated programs are not available.

Future Rating Region

You may notice an option in your Parental Control Menu that wasn't there before. This is because broadcasters have the capability to add a new rating system for TV programs. These ratings let you define additional parameters for parental controls. This option and its name are dependent on the content acquired from the broadcaster.
