he AutoLock™ 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 AutoLock™
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.

AutoLock™ offers various BLOCKING
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.

how the feature works.

Repeatedly pressing the same
COLORED button 

while the “smi-

ley” face appears will tune all the pro-
grammed channels. Pressing the COL-
ORED button again will return you to
the first channel in the list.

If the “smiley” face disappears from the
screen and the same COLORED button is
pressed, the surf channels will be displayed
starting with the FIRST programmed chan-
nel again.

4

Repeat steps 1-3 for the other three
COLORED buttons (Surf lists) if
desired.

5

Any time the “smiley” face appears
with the channel number,

pressing

the “frownie” face button 

will

allow you to remove it from the list
(see the previous page for more
details).
