UNDERSTANDING THE SMARTLOCK™ FEATURE T he SmartLock feature is an integrated circuit that receives and processes data sent by broadcasters, or other program providers, that contain program content advisories. 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 feature to censor the type of viewing children may watch.

Each SmartPicture setting is preset at the factory to automatically adjust the TV’s Brightness, Color, Picture, Sharpness, Tint, and Contrast Plus settings.
USING THE SMARTSOUND™ CONTROL I n many cases the volume levels coming from broadcast programming or commercials are never the same.
