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.

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 to highlight Unrated/Exempt Prog. Then press the right arrow 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.
