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 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 AutoLock review screen.
