SmartLock enables parents to prevent their children from watch- ing 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 limita- tions you select.
To block specific ratings, follow the steps below.

Helpful Hints
•If the “Incorrect Access Code...” message appears after step 3, enter the correct access code.
•Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) or according to the Television Parental Guidelines. In order to block any inappropriate programming, set your limits in both places (Movie Ratings and Parental Guidelines).
You will complete steps
•Tape playback will not be available on a tape if the rating of the tape is blocked.
•If you enter the access code once, you may change channels without seeing the “CHANNEL XX BLOCKED” message again. If you turn off the TV/VCR power, you will be asked for the access code again when you tune to a blocked chan- nel.
