utoLock 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 AutoLock 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.
AutoLock 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 cannot block individual channels including the AN inputs. Clear Aii - Lets you clear aii channels being blocked from your viewing set with the Channel Block Control.
Block All - Lets you block ALL channels except A/V inputs.
No Rating I Unrated - ALL programing with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO RAT#NG J Unrated is set to ON.
Movie Ratings - Certain blocldng options exist which wiii block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures Association of America (IVIPAA).
TV Ratings - Like the Movie Ratings, programs can be blocked from viewing using standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.
