Viewing Specific Content Themes

If you block specific content themes, you have the option of going back and changing some of the content themes back to (V) View:

1.Determine the content themes you want to change to (V) View.

2.Use the up/down arrow buttons to scroll to the rating whose content theme you want to change to View.

3.Press the right arrow button to move the yellow highlight to a particular content theme status.

4.Press the up or down arrow button to change its status back to V.

Note: Only the content theme status corresponding to TV-14 (L) language changes to (V) View. Higher rated content themes, such as that for TV-MA language, do not change.

V-Chip Unrated Program Block

This 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.

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.

Channel Block

Selecting this option lets you decide what channels can be viewed.

View Makes the selected channel viewable.

Block The front panel and remote control CH (channel) buttons will tune only to channels that you have marked as View. The remote will still tune to the blocked channel if you use the digits to access the channel, but the channel will be blocked.

Don’t forget to lock parental controls after you change the status of Channel Block. If you don’t, the channel block will not take effect.

Note: If you have a digital cable box channels 126-999 can be blocked but will not be removable from your scan list.

Password

Selecting this option lets you specify a Parental Controls password (the default password is 5625 —spells “lock” on a telephone-style keypad). Master users can enter a new password without being prompted for the old one. Basic users must enter the old password before they can create a new one.

Menu Language

Use the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight your preferred language for the menu system. Press OK to select that language.
