that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

A

combination antenna receives normal

broadcast channels (VHF 2-13 and
UHF 14-69). Your connection is easy
since there is only one 75Ω (ohm)
antenna plug on the back of your TV ­and that’s where the antenna goes.

1

If your antenna has a round
cable (75 ohm) on the end, then

you're ready to connect it to the
TV. Go to step 2.

If your antenna has flat twin­lead wire (300 ohm), you first

need to attach the antenna wires
to the screws on a 300 to 75
ohm adapter (not supplied with
TV).

2

Push the round end of the
adapter or antenna cable onto
the 75Ω jack on the rear of the
TV. If the round end of the
antenna cable is threaded, screw
it down tight.

Understanding the SmartLock Control

17

T

he SmartLock™ feature is an integrated cir-

cuit 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.

SmartLock™ offers various BLOCK­ING controls from which to choose:

Access Code - An Access Code must be

set to prevent children from unblocking
questionable or censored programming set
by their parents.

Channel Block - After an access code has
been programmed, you can block individual
channels including the A/V inputs.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING Concerning Stationary
Images on the TV Screen:

Do not leave stationary or letterbox
images on screen for extended peri­ods of time. This can cause uneven
picture-tube aging.

Normal use of the TV should involve the
showing of pictures that contain constant­ly moving and changing images that fill the
screen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving
images on screen for extended periods of
time, or to display the same images on
screen too frequently, because subtle
ghost images can be left on the picture
tubes. Sources of stationary images may
be DVD disks, laser disks, video games,
CD-i disks, videotapes, digital television
boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels,
satellite channels, and others. Here are

some examples of stationary images
(this is not an all-inclusive list; you
may encounter others in your view­ing):

• DVD menus—listings of DVD disk
content

• Letterbox black bars—shown at the
top and bottom of the TV screen when
a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed
on a TV with standard (4:3) aspect
ratio.

• Video-game images and score-

boards

• Television station logos—present a
problem if they are bright and station­ary; moving or low-contrast graphics
are less likely to cause uneven aging of
the picture tube

• Stock-market tickers—presented at
the bottom of the TV screen

• Shopping channel logos and pric-
ing displays—bright and shown con­stantly or repeatedly in the same loca­tion on the TV screen.

P

LACEMENT OF THE

TV

• To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color
changes, and increased chance of set
failure, do not place the TV where
temperatures can become excessively
hot; for example, in direct sunlight or
near a heating appliance.

• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to
and from the perforated back cover of
the set.

C

LEANING

• To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure
the TV is unplugged from the electrical
outlet before cleaning.

• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, non­scratching duster to keep the TV clean.

• When cleaning the TV, take care not to
scratch or damage the screen surface.
Avoid wearing jewelry or using any­thing abrasive. Do not use household
cleaners. Wipe the front screen with a
clean cloth dampened with water. Use
even, easy, vertical strokes when clean­ing.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a
clean cloth or sponge dampened in a
solution of cool, clear water and a mild
soap or detergent. Use a clean, dry
cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation
holes or slots in the back cover of the
set.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays,
or other chemicals on or near the cabi­net, as they might cause permanent
marring of the cabinet finish.

Glossary

Audio/Video Inputs • Located on the

front of the TV, these connectors (RCA

audio and video signals. Designed for use
with VCRs (or other accessories) in order
to receive higher picture resolution and
offer sound connection options.

Closed Caption • Broadcast standard
which allows you to read the voice content
of television programs on the TV screen.
Designed to help the hearing impaired, this
feature uses on-screen text boxes to show
dialog and conversations while the TV pro­gram is in progress.

Coaxial Cable • A single solid antenna
wire normally matched with a metal (F­type) connector that connects directly to a
75 Ohm IN jack on a TV or VCR.

Menu • An on-screen listing of features
that are available for adjustments.

On-screen Displays (OSD) • The word­ing or messages generated by the television
to help the user with specific feature con­trols (color adjustment, programming,

The TV remembers only the locally avail­able or desired channel numbers and skips
over any unwanted channel numbers.

Remote Sensor • An area on the front
of the TV that receives signals from the
remote control.

Twin Lead Wire • The more commonly
used name for the two-strand, 300 Ohm
antenna wire used with many indoor and
outdoor antenna systems. In many cases,
this type of antenna wire requires an addi­tional adapter (or balun) in order to con­nect to the 75 Ohm IN jacks of more
recent Televisions and VCRs.
