T he Smart Lock 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 Smart 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.

Smart Lock offers various BLOCKING controls from which to choose:
