SMARTLOCK
SmartLock enables parents to prevent their children from watching inappropriate material
on TV. SmartLock reads the ratings for programming (except for news and sports programs, unedited movies on premium cable channels, and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then denies access to programming if the program’s rating meets or exceeds the limitations you select. To block specific ratings or channels, follow these steps.
Press the MENU button, then press the CH(annel) ▲/▼ buttons to select SmartLock. Then, press the VOL(ume) B or
{button to continue.

To set a new access code, see SmartLock Access Code on page 7.
If the “Incorrect Access Code...” mes- sage appears after step 2, enter the cor- rect access code. In order to protect the privacy of the access code, an X will appear on the screen instead of the num- ber you enter.
A “CHANNEL XX BLOCKED...” mes- sage will appear when someone tries to access the blocked programming. If you want to view this programming, enter your access code. The channel will remain blocked until you enter the cor- rect code. If you do not know the code, you must select another channel using the CH(annel) o/p buttons (not the Number buttons). Turning off the TV blocks the program- ming again.
