UNDERSTANDING THE AUTOLOCK™ CONTROLS T he AutoLock™ feature is an integrated circuit that receives and processes data sent by broadcasters, or other program providers, that contain program content advisories. 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 feature 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 BLOCKING controls from which to choose: Access Code: An Access Code must be set to prevent children from unblocking questionable programming. Channel Block: Individual channels including the A/V inputs can be blocked. Clear All: Allows you clear all channels being blocked from your viewing set with the Channel Block Control. Block All: Allows you to block ALL channels and A/V inputs at one time. Movie Ratings: Block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures Association of America. TV Ratings: Block programming based on standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters. To learn more about the Motion Picture Ratings and the TV Ratings, refer to the definitions listed on the columns to the right. Press the STATUS/EXIT button twice to display the AutoLock review screen. This screen shows what is activated within the AutoLock settings.
