UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK™ CONTROLS

The AutoLock™ feature is an integrated circuit that receives and processes data sent by broadcasters, or other

program providers, that contain program content 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 feature to cen- sor the type of viewing children may watch.

AutoLock™ offers various BLOCKING controls from which to choose:

Access Code - An Access Code must be set to prevent children from unblocking questionable or censored programming set by their par- ents.

Channel Block - After an access code has been programmed, you can block individual channels including the A/V inputs.

Clear All - Allows you clear all channels being blocked from your viewing set with the Channel Block Control.

Block All - Allows you to block ALL channels and A/V inputs at one time.

Movie Ratings - Certain blocking options exist which will block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures Association of America.

TV Ratings - Just like the Movie Ratings, programs can be blocked from viewing using standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.
