’’he AutoLock™feature is an inte­
grated circuit 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
AutoLock™ can respond to the content

advisories and block program content
that may be found objectionable (such as
offensive language, violence, sexual situ­
ations, etc.). This is a great feature to

censor the type of viewing children may
watch.

AutoLock™ offers various BLOCK-
EVG 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 NV
inputs.

Clear All - Allows you clear all chan­
nels being blocked from your viewing
set with the Channel Block Control.

Block All - Allows you to block ALL
channels and AiV inputs at one time.

Movie Ratings - Certain blocking

options exist which will block program­
ming 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.
