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.

Button 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 side panel blocked. Don't forget to lock parental controls after you change the status. If you don't, the Button Block action will not take effect. 36 Chapter 3 Using TV Features
