UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK™

T he AutoLock™ feature receives and processes data sent by

broadcasters or other program providers that contain program con- tent advisories. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™ can respond to the content advisories and block program content that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great fea- ture to censor the type of program- ming children may watch.

In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll learn how to block channels and pro- gramming that is not rated, is unrat- ed, or has no rating. You will also find out how to turn these blocking features ON or OFF. Following are brief explanations of some terms and ratings related to the AutoLock™ feature.

AutoLock™ offers various Blocking Options from which to choose:

BLOCKING: The BLOCKING con- trol is what can be thought of as the Òmaster switchÓ for AutoLockª.

This control affects the settings you have chosen for blocking programs according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or for blocking programs that have no rating or are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is disabled. When the BLOCKING control is ON, blocking will occur according to the settings you have chosen.

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 (Motion Picture Association of America) or TV broadcasters, but it does not have a specific rating. In other words, the MPAA or the TV broadcasters 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 a description of the ratings on this page.)
