UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK CONTROLS
he AutoLock™ feature is an integrated circuit that receives and processes
T
data sent by broadcasters, or other program providers, that contain program
content advisories. When programmed
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 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
channels 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.

feature works.
Press one of the pre-programmed COLORED buttons
on the remote (Red, Green,

will display a smiley face with
the first programmed channel
for that surf list.
While the colored “smiley”
face still appears on the

tune the second channel programmed for that specific surf
list.
Repeatedly pressing the same
COLORED button while the
“smiley” face appears will tune
all the programmed channels.
Pressing the COLORED 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 channel again.
Repeat steps 1-3 for the other
three COLORED buttons (Surf
lists) if desired.
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).
