42 SmartLock
SmartLock enables parents to prevent their children from watch-
ing inappropriate material on TV.
SmartLock reads the ratings for programming (except for news
and sports programs, unedited movies on premium cable channels,
and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then denies access to
programming if the program’s rating meets or exceeds the limita-
tions you select. The ratings are defined on page 45.
To block ratings, follow the steps below.
• If the “Incorrect Access Code...” mes-
sage appears after step 3, enter the
correct access code.
• Programming may be rated by the
Motion Picture Association of America
(MPAA) or according to the Television
Parental Guidelines. In order to block
any inappropriate programming, set
your limits in both places (Movie
Ratings and Parental Guidelines).
You will complete steps 1-7 twice,
choosing Movie Ratings at step 5 the
first time, then choosing Parental
Guidelines at step 5 the second time.
• You can not view tape playback if the
rating of the tape is blocked.
• If you enter the access code once,
you may change channels without
seeing the “CHANNEL XX
BLOCKED” message again. If you
turn off the TV/VCR power, you will
be asked for the access code again
when you tune to a blocked channel.
