Understanding the AutoLock™ Controls

'he AutoLock™ feature is an integrat ed circuit that receives and processes

data sent by broadcasters, or other pro gram providers, that contain program con tent advisories. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™ can respond to the content advisories and block pro gram content that may be found objection able (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great fea ture to censor the type of viewing children may watch.

Over the next few pages you’ll learn how to block channels and certain rated pro gramming. Below is a brief explanation of

some terms and ratings you will find in the

AutoLock feature.

AutoLock™ offers various BLOCKING controls from which to choose:

Access Code: An Access Code must be set to prevent children from unblocking ques tionable programming.

Channel Block: Individual channels

including the A/V inputs can be blocked. 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 chan nels and AfV inputs at one time.

Movie Ratings: Block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures Association of America.

TV Ratings: Block programming based

on standard TV ratings set by TV broad casters.

To learn more about the Motion Picture Ratings and the TV Ratings, refer to the definitions listed on the columns to the right.

Press the SYSTEM MENU (OSD) but

ton twice to display the AutoLock review screen. This screen shows what is activated within the AutoLock settings.

Parents - it isn’t possible for your child to unblock a channel without knowing your access code or changing it to a new one. If your code changes, and you didn’t change it, then you know it’s been altered by some one else and blocked channels have been viewed.
