SMART LOCK T he Smart Lock 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 Smart Lock 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. Smart Lock offers various BLOCKING controls from which to choose: Access Code - An Access Code must be set to prevent children from unblocking questionable or censored programming set by their parents. Block Enable - After an access code has been programmed, you can block programming depending on the received rating and user setting. Movie Ratings - Certain blocking options exist which will block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures Association of America. TV Ratings - Just like the Movie Ratings, programs can be blocked from viewing using standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.
