UNDERSTANDING SMARTLOCK CONTROLS

SmartLock is a feature that lets the TV receive and process data sent by broadcasters or other program providers with program content advisory. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with SmartLock can respond to the content advisory and block program content

that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This feature is useful for adults to prevent certain types of programs from being viewed by children.

SmartLock offers various BLOCKING controls to choose from:

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 including the A/V inputs. Clear All - Lets you clear all channels being blocked from your viewing set with the Channel Block Control.

Block All - Lets you block ALL channels including A/V inputs.

No Rating - ALL programing with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO RATING is set to ON.

Movie Ratings - Certain blocking options exist which will block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures Association of America (MPAA).

TV Ratings - Like the Movie Ratings, programs can be blocked from viewing using standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters. Unrated - ALL unrated programs based on the Movie Ratings or Parental TV Guidelines can be blocked if UNRATED is set to ON.

20MT4405 specifications

The Magnavox 20MT4405 is a compact television set that was popular during its time for its efficient design and commendable performance. With a screen size of 20 inches, this model is ideal for small living spaces, such as bedrooms or kitchens, providing a perfect balance between size and functionality.

One of the standout features of the Magnavox 20MT4405 is its high-quality picture display. The television employs CRT (cathode ray tube) technology, which was the standard for television sets before the advent of LCD and LED screens. While CRT might seem outdated today, it offers deep contrast ratios and vibrant color reproduction, delivering a visually engaging experience for viewers. The resolution is standard (typically 480i), which, coupled with solid color fidelity, ensures that even older media looks decent on this screen.

In terms of connectivity, the Magnavox 20MT4405 offers several input options. Featuring multiple composite video inputs and a standard coaxial input, it is compatible with a range of devices, from DVD players to gaming consoles. This versatility allows users to connect their preferred media sources easily, making it a practical choice for those looking to enjoy varied forms of entertainment.

The television also includes a built-in analog tuner, which was an essential feature before the transition to digital broadcasting. This allows users to access over-the-air television channels without the need for additional equipment. With the shift to digital broadcasts, users may need an external converter box to continue accessing analog channels effectively.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Magnavox 20MT4405 is its audio performance. Equipped with integrated speakers, the television delivers clear sound quality that is suitable for everyday viewing. While it may not compete with modern surround sound systems, the audio output is generally adequate for casual viewing experiences.

With its minimalist design, the Magnavox 20MT4405 can blend seamlessly into various home decors. The unit is lightweight and compact, making it easy to move and reposition as desired. Overall, the Magnavox 20MT4405 is a straightforward, no-frills television that appeals to viewers looking for reliability and simplicity in their viewing experience. Its features, while basic by today's standards, provided a solid foundation for entertainment that many users continued to appreciate throughout its lifespan.
