UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK™

The AutoLock™ feature can help par- ents control what their children watch

on TV. AutoLock™ does this by using the content advisories sent by broadcasters or other program providers. After you program AutoLock™, it can respond to the content advisories and block pro- grams that contain content that you may consider objectionable—offensive lan- guage, violence, or sexual situations. You can also use AutoLock™ to block chan- nels that you don’t want your children to watch.

In this section, you’ll learn how to block channels and programming that is not rated, is unrated, or has no rating. You will also find out how to turn these block- ing features on or off. Following on this page are brief explanations of AutoLock™ terms and program ratings.

Terms

BLOCKING control—can be thought of as the “master switch” for AutoLock™. This control affects the set- tings you have chosen for blocking pro- grams according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or for blocking programs that have no rating or are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is disabled. When the BLOCKING control is ON, blocking will occur according to the set- tings you have chosen.

BLOCK UNRATED control—if set to ON, blocks all unrated programs.

Unrated programming consists of the kind of shows that the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) or the TV broadcasters have chosen not to rate.

NO RATING control—if set to ON, blocks all programming with no content advisory data.

Programming that has No Rating is not encoded with any rating information from the MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any programming could fall into this category.

BLOCK CHANNEL control—enables you to block individual channels that you don’t want children to see.

These models exemplify the advancements in display technology, providing a compelling viewing experience for film and television enthusiasts.

Additionally, they incorporate a wide viewing angle feature, allowing users to enjoy consistent picture quality from various positions in the room.

Another defining feature of the Philips PW9363 series is its Ambilight technology. This unique feature enhances the viewing experience by extending the colors of the on-screen image into the surrounding environment. It creates an atmospheric effect that can make movies and video games more engaging. The Ambilight system is adjustable, allowing users to customize the intensity of the colors based on their preferences.

Connectivity options on these models include multiple HDMI inputs, component video inputs, and a digital audio output. This variety allows users to connect various devices such as Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and sound systems, ensuring a versatile home theater setup.
