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™ CONTROLS

14

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.
Clear All - Allows you clear all channels
being blocked from your viewing set with
the Channel Block Control.
Block All - Allows you to block ALL chan­nels and A/V inputs at one time.
Movie Ratings - Certain blocking options
exist which will block programming based on
ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures
Association of America.
TVRatings - Just like the Movie Ratings,
programs can be blocked from viewing using
standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.

GLOSSARY

29

Auto Programming • The procedure of

adding or deleting channel numbers into
the Television’s memory circuits. In this
format the Television “remembers’’ only
the locally available or desired channel
numbers and skips over any unwanted
channel numbers.

Coaxial Cable • A single solid antenna
wire normally matched with a metal plug
(F-type) end connector that screws (or
pushes) directly onto a 75 Ohm input
found on the Television or VCR.

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 dialogue and conversa­tions while the TV program is in progress.

Side Audio/Video Inputs • Located on
the side of the TV these connectors
(phono type plug) are used for the input
of audio and video signals. Designed for
easy use with VCRs or cameras.

On Screen Displays (OSD) • Refers to
the wording or messages generated by the
television (or VCR) to help the user with
specific feature controls (color adjustment,
programming, etc.).

Menu • An on-screen listing of feature
controls shown on the Television screen
that are made available for user adjust­ments.

Remote Sensor Window •

or opening found on the Television con-

trol panel through which infrared remote

control command signals are received.

Status/Exit •

Allows the user to quickly

confirm what channel number is currently

being viewed. Status can also be used to

clear the Television of on screen displays

or information (rather than waiting for the

displays to “time out”

or automatically dis-

appear from the screen).

Surf • The action of scanning specific
channel in a limited channel list.

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 addi-

tional adapter (or balun) in order to con-

nect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals

designed into the more recent Televisions

and VCRs.

Tuner Mode •

Feature control settings

made by the TV. Designed for first time

set up and use. Settings for signal connec-

tions (antenna or cable TV), plus channel

program memory are held in the TV's

memory (even if the set is unplugged and

moved to a new location.)

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.
