V-Chip Unrated Program Block

Selecting this option lets you decide if programs that the V-Chip recognizes as “unrated” can be viewed. Note that “unrated” TV programs may include news, sports, political, religious, local and weather programs, emergency bulletins, public announcements, and programs without ratings.

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 TV rating and content, movie rating and unrated program blocks will take effect.

If you forget your password, the password can be reset to 0000 by pressing and holding the volume down and the channel up buttons simultaneously for five seconds. Using this password, you can then access the V-chip menus.
