TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES

(TV BROADCASTERS)

T

he AutoLock™ feature receives and

processes data sent by broadcasters or
other program providers that contain pro­gram content advisories. When programmed
by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™ 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 programming children
may watch.

In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll learn how
to block channels and programming that is
not rated, is unrated, or has no rating. You
will also find out how to turn these blocking
features ON or OFF. Following are brief
explanations of some terms and ratings relat­ed to the AutoLock™ feature.

AutoLock™ offers various Blocking
Options from which to choose:

BLOCKING: The BLOCKING control is
what can be thought of as the “master switch”
for AutoLock™. This control affects the set­tings you have chosen for blocking programs
according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or
for blocking programs that have no rating or
are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is
OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is
disabled. When the BLOCKING control is
ON, blocking will occur according to the set­tings you have chosen.

NO RATING: ALL programming with no
content advisory data can be blocked if NO
RATING is set to ON.

Programming that has No Rating is not
encoded with any rating information from the
MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any pro­gramming could fall into this category.

You also can block individual channels or
block programming based on ratings of the

MPAA and TV broadcasters. (See a descrip­tion of the ratings on this page.)

of the black letterbox area. With some of
these discs, this situation is unavoidable and
it does not require a service call.

HOW TO USE THE

SLEEPTIMER CONTROL

H

ave you ever fallen asleep in front of the

TV, only to have it wake you up at two in
the morning with a test pattern sound
screeching in your ears? Well, your TV can
enable you to avoid that discomfort by auto­matically turning itself off. With the Sleep
Timer feature, you can set a timer to automat­ically switch the TV OFF after a period of

240 minutes).

1

Press the SLEEP button on the
remote control. The SLEEP timer

increments up to 90 minutes, then 60­minute increments up to 240 minutes)
before the TV will turn itself off.

An onscreen countdown will appear during
the last minute before the TV shuts itself off.

To see how many minutes remain before the TV
shuts itself off, press the STATUS/EXIT button.

A Sleep Timer setting can be cancelled by press­ing any button during the last minute of the oper­ation.

programs and viewing conditions that you
may have in your home. The Movies, Sports,
Weak Signal, and Multimedia SmartPicture™
controls have been preset at the factory to
automatically adjust the TV’s brightness,
color, picture, sharpness, tint, and color tem­perature levels. The Personal SmartPicture™
settings are the ones that you made through
the PICTURE options within the onscreen
menu

on the remote control. The current
SmartPicture

setting will appear in

the middle of the screen.

2

Press the SMART PICTURE button
repeatedly to select either Personal,

Movies, Sports, Weak Signal, or
Multimedia picture settings.

NOTE: The PERSONAL setting and the
PICTURE options within the onscreen menu
are the same. This is the only option in
SmartPictureTMthat can be changed. To
adjust these settings, use the PICTURE
options within the onscreen menu. All other
settings are set up at the factory during pro­duction and cannot be adjusted.

our remote control can work your TV and

some VCRs, Cable Boxes, Satellite Systems,
DBS, DVD Players, etc. However, an easy one­time step may be necessary before the remote will
work your other equipment.

Try this initial check to see if you need to go to the
following section.

1

Place the TV/VCR/ACC Mode Switch in
the proper position (VCR or ACC for other
devices) for the device you want to control.

2

Point the remote control at the device and
press the POWER button.

3

Does the remote turn the device ON?

If YES, stop and try other function buttons
on the remote. If they also work the device,
then the remote is ready and no further
steps are needed.

If NO, continue...

First look up a THREE-DIGIT remote control
number for your brand of device before going
through the simple steps on the following page.

Find your three-digit code on pages 33-34.

SETTING THE REMOTE CONTROL TO OPERATE ACCESSORY DEVICES

Cable Converter

Satellite Receiver

VCR

NOTE: The remote is for use with exter­nal accessory devices only and not for
use with other brands of TVs.

Y

our TV remote can be set to work various

external devices such as VCRs, Cable
Boxes, Satellite Receivers, DBS, DVD
Players, etc., by using the search method of
remote control programming.

If the Code Entry method shown on the previ­ous page did not set your remote to work your
external device, then follow the easy steps
listed below.

Please read steps 1-4 before beginning.

1

Press the POWER button on the
accessory device to turn it ON.

2

Place the TV/VCR/ACC Mode
Switch in the proper position for the

device you want to operate.

3

Press and hold the A/CH • RECORD
and SMART SOUND buttons simul­taneously.

4

The device will begin to change chan­nels after the remote identifies the cor­rect code. When the channels start to

change, release the A/CH •
RECORD and SMART SOUND but­tons. The remote should be ready to

operate the device.

This method can take up to two minutes to
perform.

Don’t let the device scan up more than five
channels. If you do, the remote may pass up
the right code and another two minute
search cycle will have to be repeated.

If no channel change happens within two
minutes, repeat steps 1-4. Should a channel
change still not occur, the remote will not
work the desired device.

With the DVD Player in the 16:9 picture format, the playback of this type of disc with extra video information, can
produce a number of small white lines in the upper portion of the black letterbox area. With some of these discs, this
situation is unavoidable and it does not require a service call.

CLEANING AND

CARE

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 scoreboards

•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 pricing displays—bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on

the TV screen.

Placement 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.

Cleaning

•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.

Audio/Video Inputs • These connectors (phono type plug)
receive audio and video signals from VCRs or other devices.

Auto Program • The procedure of adding or deleting channel
numbers into the Television’s memory. The Television “remem­bers’’ only the locally available or desired channel numbers and
skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

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 on­screen "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 (F-type) connector that screws (or pushes) directly
onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR.

Menu • An on-screen listing of feature controls that are avail­able for adjustment.

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

Remote Sensor • Awindow or opening on the Television con­trol panel through which infrared remote control signals are
received.

Status/Exit • Allows the user to quickly confirm the current
channel number. 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 disappear from the
screen).

Surf • Scanning specific channels in a limited channel list.

Tuner Mode • Designed for first time set up and use where the

TV is set for antenna or cable TV signal connections.

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 Input terminals on recent Televisions and VCRs.
