U nderstanding the A uto L ock ™ C ontrols
r ’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.
Oyer 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 PffW 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 AfW 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.
