FEATURES (CONT'D) SMARTLOCK SmartLock enables parents to prevent their children from watching 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 limitations you select. To block specific ratings or channels, follow these steps. SMART HELP To set a new access code, see SmartLock Access Code on page 7. If the "Incorrect Access Code..." message appears after step 2, enter the correct access code. In order to protect the privacy of the access code, an X will appear on the screen instead of the number you enter. A "CHANNEL XX BLOCKED..." message will appear when someone tries to access the blocked programming. If you want to view this programming, enter your access code. The channel will remain blocked until you enter the correct code. If you do not know the code, you must select another channel using the CH(annel) o/p buttons (not the Number buttons). Turning off the TV blocks the programming again. If the "CHANNEL XX BLOCKED..." message appears and you do not remember your personal access code, enter 0711 twice. The CHANGE CODE menu will appear. See SmartLock Access Code on page 7. Press MENU, then press the CH(annel) L or M button to select SmartLock. Then, press the VOL(ume) B or { button to continue.
