Understanding AutoLock Controls

'I 'he AutoLock™ feature is an integmt-

J ed circuit that receives and processes

data sent by broadcasters, or other pro gram 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 lan guage, violence, sexual situations, etc.).

This is a great feature to censor the type

of viewing children may watch.

AutoLock'''“ offers various BLOCK ING 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.

Channel Block - After an access code has been programmed, you can block

individual channels including the h.fW

inputs.

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 hfW inputs at one time.

Movie Ratings - Certain blocking

options exist which will block program ming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Kctures Association of America.

TV Ratings - Just like the Movie Ratings, programs can be blocked from

viewing using standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.

MOVIE RATINGS

G: General Audience - All ages admit

ted. Most parents would find this pro

gram suitable for aU ages.

PG: Parental Guidance Suggested - This programming contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger

PG-13: Parents Strongly Cautioned -

This programming contains material that parents may find unsuitable for children under the age of 13.

MOVIE RATINGS Continued R: Restricted - This is programming is

ming contains one or more of the follow ing: very graphic violence, very graphic and explicit or indecent sexual acts, very coarse and intensely suggestive language.

TV RATINGS TV-Y - Designed for a very young audi

ence, including children ages 2-6. TV-Y7 - It may be appropriate for chil

dren age 7 and above who have acquired the development skills needed to distin guish between make-believe and reality.

TV-G - Suitable for most audiences, this type of programming contains little or no violence, no strong language, and little or no sexual dialogue or situations.

This type of programming contains one or more of the following: intense vio lence CV), intense sexual situations (S), strong coarse language (L), or intensely suggestive dialogue (D).

TV-MA - This program is specifically designed to be viewed by adults and there fore may be unsuitable for children under

he Quadra Surf buttons on your remote control allow you to store

up to 10 channels per button (40 total). You can even program the

A!V Input channels for each button

making them a “source" button.

Assuming channels have now been

added to the four Quadra Surf lists (the four colored buttons, see the

previous page), let’s review how the

feature works.

M Press one of the pre-pro-

J grammed COLORED buttons

^ on the remote (Red, Green,

Yellow or Blue). The screen win display a smiley face with the first programmed channel for that surf list.

^ While the colored “smiley”

face still appears on the screen, press the same COL ORED button on the remote to

tune the second channel pro grammed for that specific surf hst.

^ Repeatedly pressing the same

^ COLORED button while the

“smiley” face appears will tune all the programmed channels. Pressing the COLORED button again will return you to the first channel in the list.

If the “smiley” face disappears from the screen and the same COLORED button is pressed, the surf channels win be displayed starting with the EIRST programmed channel again.

Repeat steps 1-3 for the other three COLORED buttons (Surf hsts) if desired.

^ Any time the “smiley” face

^ appears with the channel num

ber, pressing the “frownie” face button will allow you to remove it from the list (see the previous page for more details).
