T
he AUTO Lock feature is an integrated
circuit that receives and processes data
sent by broadcasters, or other program
providers, that contain program content
advisories.
When programmed by the viewer, a TV
with AUTO Lock 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.
