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.

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, simultaneously press and hold MENU on the television and volume down on
the remote for 3 seconds. Nothing appears on the screen; Parental Controls simply unlock and you can re-
enter a password via Lock Parental Controls.
