UNDERSTANDING SMARTLOCK CONTROLS
SmartLock is a feature that lets the TV receive and process data sent by broadcasters or other program providers with program content advisory. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with SmartLock can respond to the content advisory and block program
content that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This feature is useful for adults to prevent certain types of programs from being viewed by children.
SmartLock offers various BLOCKING controls to choose from:
Access Code - An Access Code must be set to prevent children from unblocking questionable or censored programming set by their
parents.
Channel Block - After an access code has been programmed, you can block individual channels including the A/V inputs. Clear All - Lets you clear all channels being blocked from your viewing set with the Channel Block Control.
Block All - Lets you block ALL channels including A/V inputs.
No Rating - ALL programming with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO RATING is set to ON.
Movie Ratings - Certain blocking options exist which will block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures Association of America (MPAA).
TV Ratings - Like the Movie Ratings, programs can be blocked from viewing using standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters. Unrated - ALL unrated programs based on the Movie Ratings or Parental TV Guidelines can be blocked if UNRATED is set to ON.
