martLock (AutoLock) processes program
content advisories from broadcasters.
SmartLock™ 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
SmartLock feature.
SmartLock™ offers various BLOCK-
ING controls from which to choose:
Access Code: An Access Code must be
set to prevent children from unblocking
questionable 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
channels and A/V 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 STATUS/EXIT button
twice to display the SmartLock
review screen. This screen shows what
is activated within the SmartLock settings.
