UNDERSTANDING SMARTLOCK

T he SmartLock feature receives and processes data sent by

broadcasters, or other program providers, that contain program content advisories. When pro- grammed by the viewer, a TV with SmartLock can respond to the con- tent advisories and block program content that may be found objec- tionable (such as offensive lan- guage, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great feature to cen- sor the type of programming chil- dren may watch.

Over the next few pages, you’ll learn how to block channels and certain rated programming, as well as learn to turn these blocking fea- tures on or off. Below is a brief explanation of some terms and rat- ings you will find in the SmartLock feature.

SmartLock offers various Blocking Options from which to choose:

BLOCKING: This is what might be called the "master switch" for SmartLock. When BLOCKING is OFF, ALL blocking/censoring is dis- abled. When BLOCKING is ON, ALL blocking based on specific set- tings will take place.

BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated programs will be blocked if this fea- ture is set to ON.

UNRATED programming is encoded with information from the MPAA or TV broadcasters, but it does not have a specific rating. In other words, the MPAA or the TV broad- casters have chosen not to assign a rating to the programming.

NO RATING: ALL programming with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO RATING is set to ON.

Programming that has No Rating is not encoded with any rating infor- mation from the MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any program- ming could fall into this category.

You also can block individual channels or block programming based on ratings of the MPAA and TV broadcasters. (See description of ratings on this page.)
