martLock (AutoLock) processes program
content advisories from broadcasters.

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 feature 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.

ING controls from which to choose:

Access Code:

An Access Code must be

set to prevent children from unblocking
questionable programming.

Channel Block:

Individual channels

including the A/V inputs can be blocked.

Clear All:

being blocked from your viewing set with
the Channel Block Control.

Block All:

Pictures Association of America.

TV Ratings:

on standard TV ratings set by TV broad-
casters.

To learn more about the Motion Picture
Ratings and the TV Ratings, refer to the
