he SmartLock feature is an inte-

grated circuit that receives and

processes data sent by broadcast-
ers, or other program providers,
that contain program content advi-
sories. When programmed by the
viewer, a TV with 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 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 programming. Below
is a brief explanation of some terms
and ratings you will find in the
SmartLock feature.

SmartLock offers various
BLOCKING OPTION controls
from which to choose:

MASTER DISABLE: This is what
might be called the "master switch"
for SmartLock. When in the ON
position, ALL blocking/censoring is
turned off (or disabled). When in the
OFF position, ALL blocking based
on specifically blocked settings will
take place.

BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated
programs based on the Movie
Ratings or Parental (TV) Guidelines
can be blocked if this feature is set
to ON and the MASTER DISABLE
feature is set to OFF.

BLOCK NO RATINGS: ALL pro-
gramming with NO content advisory
data can be blocked if this feature is
set to ON and the MASTER DIS-
ABLE feature is set to OFF.

After an access code has been pro-
grammed, you can block up to 5
individual channels. But more than
just blocking channels, certain
blocking options exist which will
block programming based on ratings
patterned by the Motion Pictures
Association of America and TV
broadcasters. (See description of rat-
ings on this page.)
