he SmartLock feature is an inte-

grated circuit that receives and

processes data sent by broadcast-

ers, or other program providers,

that contain program content advi-

sories. When programmed by the

viewer, a TV with SmartLock 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 fea-

ture to censor the type of viewing

children may watch.

Over the next few pages you’ll

learn how to block certain rated

programming. Below is a brief

explanation of some terms and rat-

ings you will find in the SmartLock

feature.

SmartLock offers various

BLOCKING OPTION controls

from which to choose:

MASTER DISABLE: This is what

might be called the "master switch"

for SmartLock. When in the ON

position, ALL blocking/censoring is

turned off (or disabled). When in the

OFF position, ALL blocking based

on specifically blocked settings will

take place.

BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated

programs based on the Movie

Ratings or Parental (TV) Guidelines

can be blocked if this feature is set

to ON and the MASTER DISABLE

feature is set to OFF.

BLOCK NO RATINGS: ALL pro-

gramming with NO content advisory

data can be blocked if this feature is

set to ON and the MASTER DIS-

ABLE feature is set to OFF.

After an access code has been pro-

grammed, you can block up to 6

ratings in both the TV and Movie

Ratings area. These ratings are pat-

terned by the Motion Pictures

Association of America and TV

broadcasters. (See description of rat-

ings on this page.)
