T
he AutoLock™ feature can help par-
ents control what their children watch
on TV. AutoLock™ does this by using the
content advisories sent by broadcasters
or other program providers. After you
program AutoLock™, it can respond to
the content advisories and block pro-
grams that contain content that you may
consider objectionable—offensive lan-
guage, violence, or sexual situations. You
can also use AutoLock™ to block chan-
nels that you don’t want your children to
watch.
In this section, you’ll learn how to block
channels and programming that is not
rated, is unrated, or has no rating. You
will also find out how to turn these block-
ing features on or off. Following on this
page are brief explanations of
AutoLock™ terms and program ratings.
Terms
BLOCKING control—can be thought
of as the “master switch” for
AutoLock™. This control affects the set-
tings you have chosen for blocking pro-
grams 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 set-
tings you have chosen.
BLOCK UNRATED control—if set to
ON, blocks all unrated programs.
Unrated programming consists of the
kind of shows that the MPAA (Motion
Picture Association of America) or the
TV broadcasters have chosen not to rate.
NO RATING control—if set to ON,
blocks all programming with no content
advisory data.
Programming that has No Rating is not
encoded with any rating information
from the MPAA or the Parental
Guidelines. Any programming could fall
into this category.
BLOCK CHANNEL control—enables
you to block individual channels that you
don’t want children to see.
