UNDERSTANDING THE AUTOLOCK™ CONTROL

T he AutoLock feature is an inte- grated circuit that receives and

processes data sent by broadcast- ers, or other program providers, that contain program content advi- sories. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock 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 fea- ture to censor the type of viewing children may watch.

Over the next few pages you’ll learn how to block channels and certain rated programming. Below is a brief explanation of some terms and ratings you will find in the AutoLock feature.

AutoLock offers various BLOCK- ING OPTION controls from which to choose:

MASTER DISABLE: This is what might be called the "master switch" for AutoLock. When in the ON posi- tion, ALL blocking/censoring is turned off (or disabled). When in the OFF position, ALL blocking based on specifically blocked settings will take place.

BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated programs based on the Movie Ratings or Parental (TV) Guidelines can be blocked if this feature is set to ON and the MASTER DISABLE feature is set to OFF.

BLOCK NO RATINGS: ALL pro- gramming with NO content advisory data can be blocked if this feature is set to ON and the MASTER DIS- ABLE feature is set to OFF.

After an access code has been pro- grammed, you can block up to 5 individual channels. But more than just blocking channels, certain blocking options exist which will block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures Association of America and TV broadcasters.
