our Cable TV input into your

home may be a single (75 ohm) cable, or a Converter Box installation. In either case the connection to the TV is very easy. Just put the threaded end of the cable signal to the TV's antenna plug and screw it down finger tight.

If your Cable TV signal is a single

round cable (75 ohm) then you're

ready to connect to the TV.

If you have a Cable Converter Box:

Connect the Cable TV signal to the Cable Signal IN(put) plug on the Converter.

Connect the Cable TV cable to the

75Ω plug on the TV.

If you have a Cable Converter Box:

Connect the OUT(put) plug from the Converter to the 75Ω plug on the TV.

Remember: Set the TV for the

type signal you've just connected (see the “Tuner Mode” section on page 11 of this manual.)

To select only the channel numbers on your Cable system see “Auto Program" (page 12). If you use a Cable Converter box, set the TV to the same channel as the converter's CH 3/4 switch (on the rear of the converter.)

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.

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 flat twin-lead wire

(300 ohm), you first need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.

Push the round end of the adapter

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

Remember: Be sure to set the

TV for the type signal you've connected (see the “Tuner Mode” section on page 11 of this manual.)

To set the TV to select only the channel numbers in your area see how to “Program" or "Add" channels in the TV’s memory on page 12 (Auto Program section).

TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES

(TV BROADCASTERS)

he AutoLock feature is an inte-

grated circuit 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 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 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 AutoLock feature.

AutoLock 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.

To learn more about the Motion Picture Association of America Ratings and the TV Broadcasters Television Ratings, refer to the definitions listed on the columns to the right.

USING THE QUADRA SURF BUTTONS

“list” or series of previously

viewed channels can be selected with the Quadra SURF (colored) buttons on your remote control. With this feature you can easily switch between different TV programs that currently interest you. The Quadra Surf control allows you set up four different personal Surf lists using the colored buttons (on the remote control), each holding up to ten channels in its quick viewing“list.”

Press the CHANNEL(+) or (–) but-

tons (or the NUMBER buttons) to select

a channel to add to one of the SURF lists.

Press the SMILEY button on

the remote control to ADD the channel to one of the SURF lists.

Press the corresponding COLORED (Red, Green, Yellow or Blue) button to add the channel to that button’s

Surf list. (Up to ten channels per button can be stored.)

Repeat steps 1 through 3 to add additional channels (up to 10) to each of the the SURF lists.

USING THE QUADRA SURF BUTTONS

he Quadra Surf buttons on your

remote control allow you to store up to 10 channels per button (40 total). This is a great feature if you want to store all your favorite Sports channels, Movie channels, or News channels in one surf list. Family members can have there own favorite list of channels. You can even program the A/V Input channels (AV1, AV2, SVHS, FRONT, etc.) for each button making them a “source” button for your external accessory devices.

Assuming channels have now been added to the four Quadra Surf lists (the four colored buttons on the remote, see the previous page), let’s review how the feature works.

Press one of the pre-programmed

COLORED buttons on the remote

(Red, Green, Yellow or Blue). The screen will display a smiley face with the first programmed channel for that surf list.

While the colored “smiley” face still appears on the screen, press the same COLORED button on the remote to

tune the second channel programmed for that specific surf list.

Repeatedly pressing the same COL-

ORED button while the “smiley” face

appears will tune all the programmed channels for that specific surf list. After the last channel is tuned, pressing the COLORED button again will return you to the first channel in the list.

If the “smiley” face disappears from the screen and the same COLORED button is pressed, the surf channels will be displayed starting with the FIRST programmed channel again.

Repeat steps 1-3 for the other three

COLORED buttons (Surf lists) if desired.

Any time the “smiley” face appears with the channel number, pressing the “frownie” face button will allow you to remove it from the list (see the previous page for more details).
