(300 ohm), you first need to attach the
antenna wire to the screws on a 300 to
75 ohm adapter (not supplied with TV).

Understanding Parental Lock

Parental Lock processes program
content advisories from broadcasters.
Parental Lock can respond to the
content advisories and block objecti­onable content (offensively language,

is a great feature to censor the type

Parental Lock offers various
blocking options from which to
choose:

MASTER ENABLE: this is the

master switch for Parental Lock.
When ON, all blocking/censoring you
have set is enabled. When OFF, all

programs (based on Movies Ratings
or TV Ratings) will be blocked if this
feature is ON and MASTER ENABLE
is ON.

BLOCK NO RATING: All programming
with no content advisory data will be
blocked if this feature is ON and MAS­TER ENABLE is ON.

After you set a secret code, you can
block up to six ratings in TV Ratings or
Movie Ratings. These ratings are set
by the Motion Pictures Association of
America and TV broadcasters.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING concerning stationary images on the TV
screen: Do not leave fixed images on the screen for
extended periods of time.This can cause uneven aging
of the picture tube.

Normal use of the TV should involve viewing of programs that
have constantly moving or changing images. Do not leave non­moving images on screen for extended periods of time. Do not
display the same images too frequently; subtle ghost images
can be left on the picture tube. Sources of stationary images
may be Laser discs, video games, Compact Discs Interactive
(CD-i), or paused Digital Video Discs (DVDs) or videotapes.

Here are some common examples of stationary images:

DVD menus - listings of DVD content.
Letterbox black bars - appear 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. This is available
with some DVDs.

Video-game images and scoreboards

Television station logos - These cause a problem if they

are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics
are less likely to damage the picture tube.

Stock-market tickers - may appear at the bottom of the

TV screen if the TV programming covers this news.

Shopping channel logos, pricing displays - These may
be bright and may appear constantly during the show.These
are usually in the same location on the TV screen.

TV LOCATION

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and an
increased chance of TV failure, do not place the TV where
temperatures can become excessively hot (for example,
in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance).
Allow a free flow of air around the TV.

CLEANING

To avoid possible shock hazard, remove the TV s power
cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Regularly dust the TV with a dry, non-scratching duster.
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 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 a
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 vents on the rear of the TV.
Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on
or near the cabinet. They may blemish the cabinet perma­nently.
