20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connect-

ed to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges.

Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70­1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location

Example of Antenna Grounding
as per NEC - National Electric Code

Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC

that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Active Control™ continuously measures and corrects all
incoming signals to help provide the best picture quality. This
feature monitors and corrects both the sharpness control and
noise reduction control.

Audio/Video Jack Panel allows direct connections with acces­sory devices, providing quality TV picture and sound playback.

Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control keeps the TV sound at
an even level. Peaks and valleys in volume that occur during
program changes or commercial breaks are reduced, making for
a more consistent, comfortable sound.

AutoLock™ allows you to block the viewing of certain chan­nels or programs with certain ratings if you do not want your
children to view inappropriate materials.

Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available
channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only
active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.

AutoPicture™ allows you to change the picture settings (color,
tint, contrast, etc.) for various types of programming, such as
sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals with the
push of one button.

AutoSound™ allows you to select from three factory-set con­trols and a personal control that you set according to your own
preferences through the on-screen Sound menu. The three fac­tory-set controls (Voice, Music, and Theatre) enable you to tai­lor the TV sound so as to enhance the particular programming
you are watching.

Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the
list stored in the TV’s memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to
limit or expand the number of channels that are available to you
when you press the Channel (+) or (–) buttons on your remote
control.

Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dia­logue or voice conversations as on-screen text.

Contrast + helps you sharpen the picture quality by making
dark portions of the picture darker and light portions brighter.

Infrared Remote Control controls your TV and the built in
DVD player.

On-screen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for
setting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French,
or Spanish).

Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set amount
of time that you choose.

Standard Broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV)

channel capability allows for viewing by antenna or cable.
Stereo capability, including a built-in audio amplifier and twin-

speaker system, allows for the reception of TV programs broad­cast in stereo sound.

Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the chan­nels that are of interest to you (the ones that you have pro­grammed into the TV’s Surf control through the on-screen
menu).

Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself ON and OFF
once or daily like an alarm clock.

DVD Player plays DVD discs, Video CDs, Audio CDs, etc.
Create Favorite Track Programs and store them in the TV/DVD
Players memory.

he AutoLock™ feature is an integrat-

ed 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 pro-

gramming. 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 programming.

Channel Block: Individual channels
including the A/V inputs can be blocked.

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: Block programming
based on ratings patterned by the Motion
Pictures Association of America.

TV Ratings: Block programming based
on standard TV ratings set by TV broad­casters.

To learn more about the Motion Picture
Ratings and the TV Ratings, refer to the
definitions listed on the columns to the
right.

Press the SYSTEM MENU (OSD) but­ton twice to display the AutoLock
review screen. This screen shows what is

activated within the AutoLock settings.

on the screen, and you will need to

enter 0, 7, 1, 1 again.

7

The screen will ask you to enter a

Proceed to the next page to learn more...

SETTING UPANAUTOLOCK™ ACCESS CODE

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.

HELPFUL HINT

NOTE: The 0,7,1,1 access code shown
on this page is the default code or a
way to reset the code when the current
access code is not known.

After the initial Access
Code has been set, the code
can be changed by using
the Setup Code Control
within AutoLock.
The process will follow the
same steps as described on
this page.
