UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK CONTROLS
T he AutoLock™ feature is an integrated circuit that receives and processes data
sent by broadcasters, or other program providers, that contain program content advi- sories. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™ can respond to the con- tent 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.
AutoLock™ offers various BLOCK- ING 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. Channel Block - After an access code has been programmed, you can block individual channels.
Block All - Allows you to block ALL channels at one time.
Movie Ratings - Certain blocking options exist which will block program- ming 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.
