UNDERSTANDING THE AUTOLOCK™ CONTROLS

he AutoLock™ feature receives and processes

T

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.). is 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: e BLOCKING control is what
can be thought of as the “master switch” for
AutoLock™. is 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.)
