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.

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 television for 3 seconds. Parental Controls unlock and the Parental Control menu appears so you can enter a new password.

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.

PIP (Picture-in-Picture) and POP (Picture-outside-Picture) Operation

The PIP (picture-in-picture) feature lets you display a second, smaller picture on top of the main picture. POP (picture-outside-picture) lets you display two windows side by side.

Note: PIP and POP are not available for DVI or component video sources (CMP1 or CMP2).
