BASIC ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTIONS

our home’s signal input might come from
a single (75 ohm) round cable, a

Y

Converter Box, or from an antenna. In either
case the connection to the TV is very easy.

If your Cable TV signal or
Antenna signal is a round cable

1

(75 ohm) then you're ready to con­nect to the TV.

If your antenna has flat twin­lead wire (300 ohm), you first need

to attach the antenna wires to the
screws on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.

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 or
Antenna cable (or 300 to 75 ohm

2

adapter) 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.

color difference signals (Pb, Pr) and the
luminance (Y) signal are connected and
received separately, which allows for
improved color bandwidth information (not
possible when using composite video or S­Video connections).

Connect the Component (Y, Pb,
Pr) Video OUT jacks from the

1

DVD player (or similar device) to the
(Y, Pb, Pr) in(put) jack on the TV.
When using the Component Video
Inputs, it is best not to connect a
signal to the AV in Video Jack.

Connect the red and white
AUDIO CABLES to the Audio

HELPFUL HINT

The description for the component video con­nectors may differ depending on the DVD player
or accessory digital source equipment used (for
example,Y, Pb, Pr;Y, B-Y, R-Y;Y, Cr, Cb). Although
abbreviations and terms may vary, the letters b
and r stand for the blue and red color compo­nent signal connectors, and Y indicates the lumi­nance signal. Refer to your DVD or digital
accessory owner’s manual for definitions and
connection details.

NOTE: When using additional accessories, only one
external source will be audible, as there is only one
set of sound inputs. Component Video (CVI) input
will dominate over all other inputs, including S-Video
(S-VHS) and AV. When S-Video (S-VHS) is used, it
will dominate over the AV input.

UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK CONTROLS

he AutoLock™ feature is an integrated cir-

cuit that receives and processes data sent by

T

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.

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.

making them a “source” button.

Assuming channels have now been added to
the four Quadra Surf lists (the four colored
buttons, 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

face with the first programmed chan­nel for that surf list.

still appears on the screen, press

the remote to tune the second chan­nel programmed for that specific surf
list.

Repeatedly pressing the same
COLORED button while the “smi-

3

ley” face appears will tune all the pro­grammed channels. 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

4

desired.

Any time the “smiley” face appears
with the channel number, pressing

5

the “frownie” face button will
allow you to remove it from the list
(see the previous page for more
details).
