To view a program blocked by
the Movie Rating options, enter
your 4 digit access code. This
will disable all blocked Movie
Ratings until the TV is powered
off and on again. Then the block-
ing options will be restored.
Some models refer to SmartLock as
AutoLock, your TV may show AutoLock
instead of SmartLock in the on-screen
menu. These features are the same.
