TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES

(TV BROADCASTERS)

T

he AutoLock feature is an inte-

grated circuit that 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
viewing children may watch.

Over the next few pages you’ll
learn how to block channels and

certain rated programming. 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 questionable or cen­sored programming set by their par­ents.

Channel Block: After an access
code has been programmed, you
can block individual channels
including the A/V 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 A/V inputs at
one time.

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

TV Ratings: Just like the Movie
Ratings, programs can be blocked
from viewing using standard TV
ratings set by TV broadcasters.

To learn more about the Motion
Picture Association of America
Ratings and the TV Broadcasters
Television Ratings, refer to the defi­nitions listed on the columns to the
right.

SETTING UP THE AUTOLOCK ACCESS CODE

O

ver the next few pages you’ll learn

how to block channels and get a
better understanding of the rating terms
for certain programming.

First, let’s start by learning how to set a
personal access code:

Press the MENU button on the

remote to display the on-screen menu.

Press the CURSOR UPor

DOWN ■ button until the word FEA-

TURES is highlighted.

Press the CURSOR RIGHT 

button to display the FEATURES

menu options.

Press the CURSOR UP  or

DOWN ■ button until the words

AUTOLOCK are highlighted.

Press the CURSOR RIGHT 

button. The screen will read,

“ACCESS CODE - - - - .”

Using the NUMBERED buttons,

enter 0, 7, 1, 1. “XXXX” appears on

the Access Code screen as you press the
numbered buttons.

“INCORRECT CODE” will appear on
the screen, and you will need to enter 0,

7, 1, 1 again.

The screen will ask you to enter a

“New Code.” Enter a “new” 4 digit

code using the NUMBERED buttons.

The screen will then ask you to CON­FIRM the code you just entered. Enter
your new code again. “XXXX” will
appear when you enter your new code
and then display the AutoLock menu
options.

Proceed to the next page to learn more...

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 someone
else and blocked channels have been
viewed.
