Blocking Movie Ratings

Once you are in the Movie Ratings menu, follow the same steps
described for blocking Canadian ratings.
Block Channels
Turn this option on to block the channel you choose in the Select
Channel option.
Use the number buttons to enter the channel you want to block, then
press the down arrow button. Press OK to place a check mark in
the Block Channel box to block the channel. When you tune to that
channel you'll need to enter a password to view the channel if the TV
is locked.
Front Panel Block
Select this option to block (disable) or unblock (enable) the TV’s side
panel buttons so that they can't be used by someone, like a young
child. The remote still tunes to any channel. If you're using this to
keep children from changing channels, 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.
Blocking Unrated/Exempt Programs
The Unrated/Exempt Ratings option lets you decide if programs that
the V-Chip recognizes as unrated or exempt can be viewed. 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.
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.
Press the down arrow button to highlight Unrated/Exempt Ratings.
Then press the right arrow button to toggle between View and Block.
