UNDERSTANDING THE SMARTLOCK™ C ONTROL (ACCESS CODE)
T he SmartLock 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 SmartLock 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 viewing children may watch.
Over the next few pages you’ll learn how to block channels and get a better understanding of the rating terms for certain programming. First, let’s start by learning how to set a personal access code:
BEGIN
Press the MENU button on the remote to display the onscreen menu.
Press the CURSOR UP ▲ or CURSOR DOWN ▼ buttons until
the words SmartLock are highlight- ed.
Press the CURSOR RIGHT ▶

Access Code screen.
Using the NUMBERED but- tons, enter 0, 7, 1, 1. “XXXX” appears on the Access Code screen as you press the numbered buttons.

Parents - it isn’t possible for your child to unblock a channel without knowing your access code or changing it to a new one. If your code changes, and you did- n’t change it, then you know it’s been altered by someone else and blocked channels have been viewed.
