UNDERSTANDING THE AUTOLOCK CONTROLS

T he AutoLock feature is an inte- grated circuit that receives and

processes data sent by broadcast- ers, or other program providers, that contain program content advi- sories. 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 censor the type of viewing children may watch.

Over the next few pages you’ll learn how to block channels and

certain rated programming. Below is a brief explanation of some terms and ratings you will find in the AutoLock feature.

AutoLock offers various BLOCKING controls from which to choose:

Access Code: An Access Code must be set to prevent children from unblocking questionable or cen- sored 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 pro- gramming based on ratings pat- terned 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.

To learn more about the Motion Picture Association of America Ratings and the TV Broadcasters Television Ratings, refer to the defi- nitions listed on the columns to the right.
