Front Button Block
Selecting this option lets you block (disable) or unblock (enable) the TV’s front buttons. The remote still tunes to any channel. Front Panel Block can:
•Keep children from watching TV when the parent is not present.
•Keep young children from playing with the buttons on the TV.
(When using this as a Parental Control method, you should remove access to any remote that is capable of operating the television.)
Don’t forget to lock the TV after you select Blocked. If you do not, the front panel block will not take effect.
Note: If power to the TV is lost for an extended period, the buttons become unblocked. Blocking the front buttons does not disable the front input jacks.

Front Input
Press OK to select the channel or input that is tuned when the VCR key is pressed on the remote.
The way you set up the Auto Tuning feature in the TV’s menu corresponds to the component buttons on the remote and the way you have each component connected to your TV. When you set auto tuning, you’re telling the TV what channel or input to tune to when you press the VCR, DVD, AUDIO, or SAT/CAB button on the remote control. This is especially useful for going directly to an input like HDMI/DVI.
Notes: The AUX button by default is set up for a second RCA VCR. If you need to reprogram the AUX button, or instead want to program the VCR button, use the 2001 code. Then use the VCR2 option in the auto tuning menu to set auto tuning.
If you have two RCA satellite receivers, you can control each separately. Program the second receiver with the AUX button using the 5001 code. Then use the RCA SAT2 option in the auto tuning menu to set auto tuning.
1.Press MENU (the Main Menu appears).
2.Highlight Connections and press OK.
3.Highlight Auto Tuning and press OK.
4.Highlight the component button field and continually press OK to scroll through the selection of inputs.
The choices and a brief explanation follow:
Not Connected Choose this if you don’t have this particular component connected to the TV, or if you don’t want the TV to automatically tune to the correct channel when you press one of the component buttons on the remote.
Channel 2, 3 or 4 Cable Input Component is connected to the CABLE INPUT jack on the back of the TV, and you want the TV to tune to channel 2, 3, or 4 when you press the corresponding button on the remote. Reminder: make sure the component’s Channel 2/3 or 3/4 switch is set to match the channel you choose in Auto Tuning.
