Using the TV’s Features
30 Chapter 3
Parental Controls
The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so that
children cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the buttons on the
front of the TV. The Parental Controls menu controls the software inside
your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which lets you program your TV so it
won’t display certain programs and movies based on violence, sex, or
other content you may believe children should not view. Once you block
programs, you or other adults can unblock programs by entering a
password to unlock video or enter the password to edit the features in
the Parental Controls menu. By default, the software inside your TV is
t
urned “off,” so if you don’t want to use this feature, you can just ignore it.
The options of the Parental Controls menu are Lock/Unlock TV, Video
Input List, Cable Channel List, Antenna Channel List, USA V-Chip, Canada
V-Chip, V-Chip Unrated, and Front Button Block.
Lock/Unlock TV
Selecting this option lets you lock and unlock the parental controls and
the TV using a password. It locks or unlocks channel lists. If the TV is
unlocked when watching TV, you only see the channels that have a
check mark in the Unlocked List (see Channel Lists below). If the TV is
locked when watching TV, you only see the channels that are marked as
Viewable in the Locked List. If the TV is locked, all channels can still be
accessed by using the number buttons on the remote control but may not
be viewed if they are blocked (enter password to see program).
Notes: When locking the TV, you’ll be asked to enter a password and
then to re-enter the password a second time to re-confirm your
password choice.
If you do not lock the TV, none of the settings for V-Chip, channel
block, and front panel block take effect.
If you forget your password, simultaneously press and hold the MENU/
OK button on the front panel and VOL- button on the remote for three
seconds. This resets the password only and unlocks the TV; all other
settings in Parental Controls are not changed.
