T he AutoLock™ feature receives
and processes data sent by
broadcasters or other program
providers that contain program con-
tent advisories. When programmed
by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™
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 program-
ming children may watch.
In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll
learn how to block channels and pro-
gramming that is not rated, is unrat-
ed, or has no rating. You will also
find out how to turn these blocking
features ON or OFF. Following are
brief explanations of some terms and
ratings related to the AutoLock™
feature.
AutoLock™ offers various
Blocking Options from which to
choose:
BLOCKING: The BLOCKING con-
trol is what can be thought of as the
“master switch” for AutoLock™.
This control affects the settings you
have chosen for blocking programs
according to movie ratings or TV
ratings, or for blocking programs
that have no rating or are unrated.
When the BLOCKING control is
OFF, the blocking or censoring of
programs is disabled. When the
BLOCKING control is ON, blocking
will occur according to the settings
you have chosen.
BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated
programs will be blocked if this fea-
ture is set to ON.
UNRATED programming is encoded
with information from the MPAA
(Motion Picture Association of
America) or TV broadcasters, but it
does not have a specific rating. In
other words, the MPAA or the TV
broadcasters have chosen not to
assign a rating to the programming.
NO RATING: ALL programming
with no content advisory data can be
blocked if NO RATING is set to
ON.
Programming that has No Rating is
not encoded with any rating infor-
mation from the MPAA or the
Parental Guidelines. Any program-
ming could fall into this category.
You also can block individual
channels or block programming
based on ratings of the MPAA and
TV broadcasters. (See a description
of the ratings on this page.)
