Channel Banner
There are several indicators that might appear when you press the TV or INFO
buttons on the remote. This display is called the Channel Banner. The following
list describes the items on the Channel Banner screen (left to right and top to
bottom).
12:01 Displays the current time.
The lock is displayed to indicate when Parental Controls are
locked or unlocked.
Displayed when Closed Captioning is available on the
current channel.
ESPN Displays the label assigned to the current channel.
60 Displays the current channel or input channel (FRNT).
Mute is displayed when you mute the audio.
Displayed when the Sleep Timer has been set.
00:00 Displayed to count down time left on the commercial skip
(SKIP) timer.
Parental Controls and V-Chip
The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so that children
cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the front panel controls.
The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve software inside
your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which allows you to block TV programs and
movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children
should not view. In other words, it lets you program your TV so it won’t display
certain programs.
Once you block programs, you or other adults can unblock programs by
entering a password.
By default, the software inside your TV is turned “off,” so if you don’t want to
use this feature, you can just ignore it.
