our Cable TV input into your home may

be a single (75 ohm) cable. If so, this con­nection is very simple. Follow the steps below
to connect your cable signal to your new tele­vision.

Direct Cable Connections:

1

Connect the open end of the round
Cable Company supplied cable to the

75Ω input on the TV. Screw it down fin­ger tight.

A

combination antenna receives normal
broadcast channels (VHF 2–13 and

UHF 14–69). Your connection is easy
because there is only one 75Ω (ohm)
antenna plug on the back of your TV, and
that’s where the antenna goes.

1

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.

2

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

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™ 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 STATUS/EXIT button twice to
display the AutoLock review screen.

A

“list” or series of previously viewed

channels can be selected with the
QuadraSurf™ (colored) buttons on your
remote control. With this feature you can easi­ly switch between different TV programs that
currently interest you. The QuadraSurf™ 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.”

1

Press the CHANNEL (+) or (–) but­tons (or the NUMBER buttons) to

select a channel to add to one of the
SURF lists.

2

Press the SMILEY button on the
remote control to ADD the channel to
one of the SURF lists.

3

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.

To remove a channel from one of the SURF
lists;

4

Press the COLORED QuadraSurf™
button until the desired channel

appears. The screen will display the
channel number with a colored
“Smiley” face to indicate the Colored
button it relates to.

5

While the “Smiley” face channel
indicator is displayed, press the
FROWNIE face button. The

screen will read, “Remove item? ­Press .”

6

Press the FROWNIE face button
again to confirm your decision to

remove the channel from the Surf list.

Repeat steps 4-6 to remove other channels
from Surf lists.

USING THE QUADRASURF™ BUTTONS

Your remote also has an A/CH (Alternate
Channel) button. Pressing this button will tog­gle between the Current and one previously
selected channel.

ALTERNATE CHANNEL

34

T

he QuadraSurf™ 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 external A/V Input
jacks (Front channel) for one of the buttons
making it a “source” button for your external
accessory devices.

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

1

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.

2

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.

3

Repeatedly pressing the same COL­ORED 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.

4

Repeat steps 1-3 for the other three
COLORED buttons (Surf lists) if
desired.

5

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).

TROUBLESHOOTING

CARE AND CLEANING

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
picture-tube 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.

• 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 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 connections. Are they properly secured to the
TV's ANT 75Ω plug?

• Check the TUNER MODE control for the correct tuner set­ting.

• Try running the Auto Program feature to find all available
channels.

• Press the AV button on the remote to make sure the correct
signal source is selected (FRONT or Current Channel).

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 jack connections located on the front of the TV.

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.

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 the TUNER MODES are set to the CABLE
option and run the Auto Program feature to find all available
channels.

36

Auto Programming • The procedure of adding or deleting
channel numbers into the Television’s memory circuits. In this
way the Television “remembers’’ only the locally available or
desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel
numbers.

Coaxial Cable • A single solid antenna wire normally matched
with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes)
directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR.

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 dialogue and conversations while
the TV program is in progress.

Side Audio/Video Inputs • Located on the side of the TV
these connectors (phono type plug) are used for the input of
audio and video signals. Designed for easy use with VCRs or
cameras.

On Screen Displays (OSD) • Refers to the wording or mes-
sages generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with
specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).

Menu • An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the
Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.

Quadra Surf • The feature that allows the programming of
four separate Surf lists holding up to 10 channels each.

Remote Sensor Window • A window or opening found on
the Television control panel through which infrared remote con­trol command signals are received.

Status/Exit • Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel
number is currently being viewed. 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 • The action of scanning specific channel in a limited
channel list.

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 designed into the more recent
Televisions and VCRs.

Tuner Mode • Feature control settings made by the TV.
Designed for first time set up and use. Settings for signal con­nections (antenna or cable TV), plus channel program memory
are held in the TV's memory (even if the set is unplugged and
moved to a new location.)
