The SmartLock feature receives

and processes data sent by

broadcasters, or other program

providers, that contain program

content advisories. When pro-

grammed by the viewer, a TVwith

SmartLock can respond to the con-

tent advisories and block program

content that may be found objec-

tionable (such as offensive lan-

guage, violence, sexual situations,

etc.). This is a great feature to cen-

sor the type of programming chil-

dren may watch.

tures on or off. Below is a brief

explanation of some terms and rat-

ings you will find in the SmartLock

feature.

SmartLock offers various

Blocking Options from which to

choose:

called the "master switch" for

SmartLock. When BLOCKING is

OFF, ALLblocking/censoring is dis-

abled. When BLOCKING is ON,

ALLblocking based on specific set-

tings will take place.

BLOCKUNRATED: ALL unrated

programs will be blocked if this fea-

ture is set to ON.

UNRATED programming is encoded

with information from the MPAAor

TVbroadcasters, but it does not

have a specific rating. In other

words, the MPAAor the TV broad-

casters have chosen not to assign a

rating to the programming.

with no content advisory data can be

blocked if NO RATING is set to

ON.

not encoded with any rating infor-

mation from the MPAAor the
