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.)

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
No Power
• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, 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 antenna/cable connections. Are they properly secured
to the TV's ANT 75P plug?
• Check the TUNER MODE control for the correct tuner setting.
• Try running the Auto Program feature to find all available
channels.
• Press the SOURCE button on the remote to make sure the
correct signal source is selected.
• If using an accessory device, be sure that it is functioning
properly.
• If in PC Mode, a video signal MUST BE present or the TV

• Check the VOLUME buttons.
• Check the MUTE button on the remote control.
• If you’re attempting to hook up auxiliary equipment, check
the audio jack connections.
No AV Signal
• Check whether AV and S-Video sockets connected
simultaneously. If they are, disconnect the S-Video socket.
AV signal automatically overrides the S-Video signal if
both sockets are connected simultaneously.
S-VHS Color Becomes Faint
• Unplug socket for S-Video connection. Reconnect the S-Video
socket of the TV slowly to the VCR socket.
TV Only Produces MONO Sound
•If using a cable box with RF only type connections, the signal
coming from the cable box will be produced in MONO only.
• Check Sound control setting. Change setting to Stereo.
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 window on the TV.
• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, 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 TV outlet is not on a wall switch.
• Be sure that the remote is in the correct operating mode.
• Be sure the remote is pointed at the Remote Sensor Window
on the TV. See page 1 of the Quick Use Guide for details.
TV Displays Wrong Channel or No Channels Above 13
•Repeat channel selection.

option and run the Auto Program feature to find all available
channels.

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
display 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.
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, 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.
Do not use acetone, toluene, or alcohol to clean the screen.
• 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.
