UNDERSTANDING THE AUTOLOCK CONTROLS
he AutoLock feature is an inte-
Tgrated 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 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.
