UNDERSTANDING THE AUTOLOCK™ CONTROLS

The AutoLock™ feature receives and processes data sent by broadcasters or

other program providers that contain pro- gram 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 objection- able (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great feature to censor the type of programming children may watch.

In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll learn how to block channels and programming that is not rated, is unrated, 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 relat- ed to the AutoLock™ feature.

AutoLock™ offers various Blocking Options from which to choose:

BLOCKING: The BLOCKING control is what can be thought of as the “master switch” for AutoLock™. This control affects the set- tings 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 set- tings you have chosen.

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 information from the MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any pro- gramming 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 descrip- tion of the ratings on this page.)
