martLock receives and processes
data sent by broadcasters that con­tains program content advisories. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with SmartLock can respond to the content advisories and block objec­tionable program content (offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great feature to censor the type of viewing children may watch.
Over the next few pages you’ll learn how to block channels and certain
rated programming. Below is a brief explanation of some terms and ratings you will find in the SmartLock feature.
SmartLock offers various BLOCK­ING controls:
Access Code: An Access Code must
be set to prevent children from unblocking questionable or censored programming.
Block Channel: After an access code has been programmed, you can block individual channels, including the Audio/Video inputs.
Clear All: Allows you clear all chan­nels blocked by Channel Block.
Block All: Allows you to block ALL channels and Audio/Video inputs at one time.
Movie Ratings: Block programming based on ratings of the Motion Pictures Association of America.
TV Ratings: Just like the Movie Ratings, block viewing using standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.
To learn more about the ratings of the Motion Pictures Association of America and TV Broadcasters, refer to the definitions at right.

SETTING UP THE SMARTLOCK ACCESS CODE
NOTE: The 0,7,1,1 access code is the default code or a way to reset the code when the current access code is not known.
The SmartLock
Access Code also
can be changed any
time using the
Setup Code feature.
O
ver the next few pages you’ll learn how
to block channels and get a better under­standing of the rating terms for certain pro­gramming.
First, let’s start by learning how to set a per­sonal access code:
1
Press the MENU button on the remote
to display the on-screen menu.
2
Press the or button until the word
FEATURES is highlighted.
3
Press the  button to display the
FEATURES menu options.
4
Press the or■ button until
SMARTLOCK is highlighted.
5
Press the  button. The screen will
read “ACCESS CODE - - - - .”
6
Using the Number buttons, enter 0, 7,
1, 1. “XXXX” appears on the Access
Code screen as you press the Number buttons.
“INCORRECT CODE” will appear on the screen, and you will need to
enter 0, 7, 1, 1 again.
7
The screen will ask you to enter a New
Code. Enter a “new” four-digit code using the Number buttons. The screen will then ask you to CONFIRM the code you just entered. Enter your new code again. “XXXX” will appear when you enter your new code and then display the SmartLock menu options.
Proceed to the next page to learn more...
Parents - it isn’t possible for your child to unblock a channel without knowing your access code or changing it to a new one. If your code changes, and you didn’t change it, then you know it’s been altered by someone else and blocked channels have been viewed.

TROUBLESHOOTING
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV Screen:
Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on the screen for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven picture tube aging.
Normal use of the TV should involve showing pictures that con­tain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen. Do not leave non-moving images on the screen for extended periods of time or display the same images on the screen too frequently. Subtle ghost images can be left on the picture tube. Sources of stationary images may be DVDs, laser discs, video games, CD-i discs, 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 menuslistings of DVD content
Letterbox black barsshown at the top and bottom of the
TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed on a TV with a standard (4:3) aspect ratio.
Video game images and scoreboards
Television station logospresent 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 tickerspresented at the bottom of the TV
screen
Shopping channel logos and pricing displaysbright
and show 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.
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, non-scratching 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.
No Power
• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the power cord, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into the outlet and push the POWER button again.
• Check that the outlet is not on a wall switch.
• Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip if one is being used.
No Picture
• Check the antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANT 75plug?
• Check the TUNER MODE control for the correct tuner set­ting.
•Try running the Auto Program feature to find all available channels.
No Sound
• Check the VOLUME buttons.
• Check the MUTE button on the remote control.
• If you’re attempting to hook up auxiliary equipment, check the audio connections to the TV from the other device.
Remote Does Not Work
• Check the batteries. If necessary, replace them with AA
Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries.
• Clean the remote control and the remote control sensor on the front of the TV.
• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the power cord, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into the outlet and push the POWER button again.
• Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip, if one is being used.
• Check to be sure the power outlet is not on a wall switch.
TV Displays Wrong Channel or No Channels Above 13
• Repeat channel selection.
• Add the desired channel numbers (using the CHANNEL EDIT control) into the TV’s memory.
• Check to be sure TUNER MODE is set to CABLE if you have Cable TV service. Run the Auto Program feature to find all available channels. Channels 1-125 can be possible only if you have Cable TV service. If you are using an Antenna, only channels 2-69 can be possible.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
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.

WHAT IS COVERED?
Warranty coverage begins the day you buy your product. For 90 days thereafter, all parts will be repaired or replaced free, and
labor is free. From 90 days to one year from the day of pur­chase, all parts will be repaired or replaced free, but you pay for all labor charges. From one to two years from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts except the picture tube, and for all labor charges. After two years from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts, and for all labor charges. All parts, including repaired and replaced parts, are covered only for the original warranty period. When the warranty on the product expires, the warranty on all replaced and repaired parts also expires.
WHAT IS EXCLUDED?
Your warranty does not cover:
• labor charges for installation or setup of the product, adjust­ment of customer controls on the product, and installation or repair of antenna systems outside of the product.
• product repair and/or part replacement because of misuse, accident, unauthorized repair or other cause not within the control of Magnavox.
• reception problems caused by signal conditions or cable or antenna systems outside the unit.
•a product that requires modification or adaptation to enable it to operate in any country other than the country for which it was designed, manufactured, approved and/or authorized, or repair of products damaged by these modifica­tions.
• incidental or consequential damages resulting from the prod­uct. (Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This includes, but is not limited to, prerecord­ed material, whether copyrighted or not copyrighted.)
• a product used for commercial or institutional purposes.
WHERE IS SERVICE AVAILABLE?
Warranty service is available in all countries where the product is officially distributed by Magnavox. In countries where Magnavox does not distribute the product, the local Magnavox service organization will attempt to provide service (although there may be a delay if the appropriate spare parts and techni­cal manual(s) are not readily available).
MAKE SURE YOU KEEP...
Please keep your sales receipt or other document showing proof of purchase. Attach it to this owner’s manual and keep both nearby. Also keep the original box and packing material in case you need to return your product.
BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE...
Please check your owner’s manual before requesting service. Adjustments of the controls discussed there may save you a service call.
