Movie Ratings

The AUTO Lock feature is an integratedcircuit 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 AUTO Lock 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.

AUTO Lock 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 parents.

Block Enable - After an access code has been programmed, you can block programming depending on the received rating and user setting.

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.

HELPFUL HINT

Remember that 0711 is the default AutoLock code. If your access code has been changed by someone other than you (a child, for example) or you have forgotten the code, you can always get in by inputting the default code.
