MOVIE RATINGAutoLock

ONGPGPG-13RNC-17

T he AutoLock™ feature receivesand processes data sent by

broadcasters or other programproviders that contain program con-tent advisories. When programmedby the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™can respond to the content advisoriesand block program content that maybe found objectionable (such asoffensive language, violence, sexualsituations, etc.). This is a great fea-ture to censor the type of program-ming children may watch.

In the AutoLock™ section, you’lllearn how to block channels and pro-gramming that is not rated, is unrat-ed, or has no rating. You will alsofind out how to turn these blockingfeatures ON or OFF. Following arebrief explanations of some terms andratings related to the AutoLock™feature.

When theBLOCKING control is ON, blockingwill occur according to the settingsyou have chosen.
