SMARTLOCK
SmartLock (AutoLock) processes program
content advisories from broadcasters. SmartLock can respond to the content advi- sories and block objectionable content (offen- sive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great feature to censor the type of programming children watch.
SmartLock offers various blocking options from which to choose: Block Channel: Block individual chan- nels, including the FRONT (Audio/Video In) channel.
Clear All: Allows you to clear and view all previously blocked channels.
Block All: Blocks all channels from view- ing, including the FRONT channel.
Movie Rating: Blocks programming based on ratings of the Motion Pictures Association of America.
TV Rating: Blocks programming based on TV broadcast ratings.
