BLOCKING control--can be thought
of as the "master switch" for
AutoLock. This control affects the
set-
tings
you have chosen for
blocking
programs
according to movie ratings
or TV
ratings,
or for
blocking
pro-
grams that have no
rating
or are
unrat-
ed. When the BLOCKING control is
OFF, the blocking or censoring of pro-
grams is disabled. When the BLOCK-
ING control is
ON, blocking
will
occur according to the settings you
have chosen.
BLOCK UNRATED control--if set
to ON, blocks all unrated progrmns.
Unrated pro_alnlning consists of the
kind of shows that the MPAA (Motion
Picture Association of America) or the
TV broadcasters have chosen not to
rate.
NO RATING control--if set to ON,
blocks all progralrnning with no con-
tent advisory data.
Programlning that has No Rating is not
encoded with any rating inforlnation
from the MPAA or the Parental
Guidelines. Any programlning could
t:atl into this category.
You can also block individual chan-
nels using the BLOCK CHANNEL
control.
