10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manu­facturer.

12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table

specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the app­aratus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid

injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.

15. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be
serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;

or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the

appliance; or

C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or

items could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and
cause product damage and/or personal injury.

17. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.

18. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away
from power lines.

19. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built up static charges.

grounding of the mats and supporting structure grounding of
the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of

TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES

(TV BROADCASTERS)

T

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.

HOW TO USE THE CLOSED CAPTION CONTROL

C

losed Captioning (CC) allows you

to read the voice content of televi­sion programs on the TV screen.
Designed to help the hearing impaired,
this feature uses on-screen “text boxes”
to show dialogue and conversations
while the TV program is in progress.

Press the CC button on the remote

to display the current Closed Caption set-

ting.

Press the CC button repeatedly to

choose from the four Closed Caption
options (CC Off, CC 1, CC 2, CC
Mute). Dialogue (and descriptions) for
the action on the captioned TV program
will appear on-screen if the tuned pro­gram is broadcasting CC information.

When finished, press the STATUS

/EXIT button to remove the menu from

the TV’s screen or let the option time out
and disappear from the TV screen.

Not all TV programs and

product commercials are made

with Closed Caption (CC) information
included. Neither are all Closed Caption
modes (CC 1, or CC 2) necessarily being
used during the transmission of a closed
caption program. Refer to your area's TV
program listings for the stations and
times of Closed Caption shows.

SMART HELP

NOTE: The CC MUTE option can be

used to set the TV to turn the Closed
Caption mode “ON” whenever the MUTE
button on the remote is pressed. This acti­vates the CC1 option.

USING THE QUADRA SURF BUTTONS

A

“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.

To remove a channel from one of the
SURF lists;

Press the COLORED Quadra

Surf 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.

USING THE QUADRA SURF BUTTONS

T

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).

Cleaning and Care

• To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

• When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using
anything abrasive). 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. Use a clean
dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring
of the cabinet finish.

CAUTION: Avideo source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or
TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen,
can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source
the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game could leave an image permanently on
the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly alternate the
use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

GLOSSARY TO TELEVISION TERMS

Auto Picture Booster • A control that will automatically ampli-

fy “weak video signals” to a point where they are acceptable for
viewing.

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 • Asingle 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.

Front Audio/Video Inputs • Located on the front 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.

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

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

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

Television control panel through which infrared remote control
command signals are received.

Surf • The action of scanning specific channel in a limited
channel list.

Status/Exit • Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel

than waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically dis­appear from the screen).

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
