The Menu System V-Chip Unrated Program Block Selecting this option lets you decide if programs that the V-Chip recognizes as "unrated" can be viewed. View All unrated programs are available. Block No unrated programs are available. "Unrated" TV programs may include news, sports, political, religious, local, and weather programs, and public announcements. Also, the first few seconds of a channel with rated programming may be blocked (due to a brief delay in transmission of the rating information). "Not Rated" vs. "Unrated" All movies are assigned a rating. Some movies are given a rating of Not Rated (NR). You can assign Block or View status to the NR rating in the V-Chip Movie Rating Limit screen. Not all television programs are assigned a rating (age-based rating). To Block or View unrated television programs, you must use the Unrated Programs option from the V-Chip Parental Controls menu. Lock/Unlock Parental Controls Selecting this option lets you lock and unlock parental controls settings using a password. If you forget your password, press the following buttons on the remote, one by one: MUTE, DISPLAY, CLEAR, and RESET (while in the password entry screen). Parental controls will then unlock and you can re-enter a password via Lock Parental Controls. Remember! When you want to watch a blocked program, press the DISPLAY button on the remote to enter your password. You must lock Parental Controls for TV rating and content, movie rating, and unrated program blocks to take effect.
