BASIC ANTENNA C

ONNECTIONS

A

combination antenna receives normal

broadcast channels (VHF 2–13 and
UHF 14–69). Your connection is easy
because 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.

If your antenna has a flat,
twin-lead wire (300 ohm), you

first need to attach the antenna
wires to the screws on a 300- to
75-ohm adapter.

2

Push the round end of the
adapter (or antenna) onto the 75Ω
(ohm) plug on the back of the TV.
If the round end of the antenna
wire is threaded, screw it down
finger tight.

UNDERSTANDING THE SMARTLOCK™ CONTROLS

18

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.

TV Ratings - Just like the Movie Ratings,
programs can be blocked from viewing using
standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.

MOVIE

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.
