he AutoLock™ feature 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 programming children
may watch.
In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll learn how
to block channels and programming that is
not rated, is unrated, or has no rating. You
will also find out how to turn these blocking
features ON or OFF. Following are brief
explanations of some terms and ratings related to the AutoLock™ feature.
AutoLock™ offers various Blocking
Options from which to choose:
BLOCKING: The BLOCKING control is
what can be thought of as the “master switch”
for AutoLock™. This control affects the settings you have chosen for blocking programs
according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or
for blocking programs that have no rating or
are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is
OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is
disabled. When the BLOCKING control is
ON, blocking will occur according to the settings you have chosen.
NO RATING: ALL programming with no
content advisory data can be blocked if NO
RATING is set to ON.
Programming that has No Rating is not
encoded with any rating information from the
MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any programming could fall into this category.
You also can block individual channels or
block programming based on ratings of the
MPAA and TV broadcasters. (See a description of the ratings on this page.)
