UNDERSTANDING THE

AUTOLOCK

™ FEATURE

he AutoLock™ feature is an integrated

circuit that receives and processes data

T

sent by broadcasters, or other program
providers, and content containing advisories.
When programmed by the viewer, a TV with
AutoLock™ responds to the content advi­sories and blocks program content that may
be objectionable (such as offensive language,
violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a
great feature to censor what children may
watch.

AutoLock™ 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.

Channel Block - After programming an
access code, you can block individual chan­nels (including the front A/V inputs).

Clear All - Clears all channels being
blocked from your viewing set with the
Channel Block Control.

Block All - Block ALL channels and the
front A/V inputs at one time.

Movie Ratings - Certain blocking options
exist that block programming based on rat­ings patterned by the Motion Pictures
Association of America.

TV Ratings - Just like the Movie Ratings,
block programs from viewing using standard
TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.

MOVIE
G: General Audience - All ages admitted.

Most parents would find this program suit­able for all ages.

PG: Parental Guidance Suggested -

This programming contains material that par­ents may find unsuitable for younger children.

PG-13: Parents Strongly Cautioned - This
programming contains material that parents
may find unsuitable for children under the age
of 13.
