T he Smartlock™ feature is an integrated cir-
cuit that receives and processes data sent by
broadcasters, or other program providers, that
contain program content advisories.When pro-
grammed by the viewer, a TV with Smartlock™
can respond to the content advisories and block
program content that may be found objection-
able (such as offensive language, violence, sexual
situations, etc.).This is a great feature to censor
the type of viewing children may watch.
Smartlock™ offers various BLOCK-
ING 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 chan-
nels 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.
