See Fig. below.

15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be

unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not

AutoLock™ allows you to block the viewing of certain channels or pro grams with certain ratings if you do not want your children to view inap propriate materials.

Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast sta

tions in the TV’s memory. AutoPicture™ allows you to change the picture settings (color, tint, con

trast, etc.) for various types of programming, such as sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals with the push of one button.

AutoSountF** allows you to select fiom three factory-set controls and a personal control that you set according to your own preferences through die onscreen Sound menu. The three factory-set controls (Voice, Music, and Theatre) enable you to tailor the TV sound so as to enhance the partic ular progamming 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 num ber of channels diat are available to you when you press the Channel (+) or (-) buttons on your remote control.

After the com mands are learned, you can use your TV remote control to operate and control all of the devices.

M-Llnk™ allows you to convert your TV into a home-cinema control center composed of up to six devices (including an audio amplifier). You activate the devices by pressing macro buttons and control the devices by pressing “hot” buttons on your remote control. Choose from cable box, digital set top box, DVD (digital video disc), laser disc (LD), satellite digi tal TV, VCD (video compact disc), and VCR (video cassette recorder) devices. {IR Blaster must be plugged In before turning the TV ON.)

Onscreen 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 (VHFAJHi) or Cable TV (CATV) channel capabil ity allows for viewing by antenna or cable.

Stereo c^ability, including a built-in audio amplifier and twin-speaker system, allows for the reception of TV programs broadcast in stereo sound.

'he AutoLock^feature receives and processes data sent by

broadcasters or other program

providers that contain program con

tent advisories. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™ can respond to the content advisories and block program content that may

.................................................

etc.). This is a great fea ture to censor the type of program ming children may watch.

In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll leam how to block channels and pro gramming that is not rated, is unrat ed, 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 con

trol 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 nave no rating or are unrated. When the BLOC&NG 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.

BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated

progimns will be blocked if this fea ture is set to ON.

UNRATED programming is encoded with information from the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of

America) or TV broadcasters, but it

does not have a specific rating, In other words, the MPAA or the TV broadcasters have chosen not to

assign a rating to the programming. 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 infor mation fivm the MPAA or the

Parental Guidelines. Any program

ming couldfall 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.)

Tycture-In-Picture (PIP) is the

£ showing of two pictures on the

TV screen at the same time (one main screen picture and one small

picture, or PIP). For your ease and

convenience, this TV has two sepa rate inputs (ANTenna A and PIP ANTenna B) for your home’s Antenna and/or Cable TV system signal.

The ANT A input is primarily for the TV’s main screen picture. 'The PIP

ANT B input is provided as a second

dedicated source option for the TV’s

PIP “window” and its feature opera

tions. The signal connected to the PIP ANT B input can be either a split signal input (as described in the sec

tion on this page) or another type of external signal source (such as a satellite dish system, additional home antenna, video accessory, etc.).

See the following steps on how chan nels connected to the PIP ANT(enna) B Input can be shown and used with in the PIP window.

No Power

No Picture

No Sound

CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, compact disc interactive [GDI], or TV information channel) that shows a constant nonmoving pattern on the TV screen can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source, the pattern of the nonmoving portion of the game (or other source) can leave a permanent image on the picture tube. When you’re not using the video source, turn it OFF. Also, regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

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.

Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANT A/B 75£2 plug? Check the TUNER MODE control for the correct tuner setting. Tty 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 (AVI [or CVI], AV2, AV3, or S-VIDEO).

• Check the VOLUME buttons.

• Check the MUTE button on the remote control.

• Check the SPEAKER onscreen control. If it is in the OFF position, sound at the set will be eliminated.

• If you’re attempting to hook up auxiliary equipment, check the audio jack connections.

• (If applicable) Check the audio receiver for the correct operating mode.

Cleaning and Care

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.

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.

To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning. When you are cleaning the TV, 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 diy 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.

Glossary of Television Terms

Alternate Channel • The feature that allows you to toggle between the last two channels viewed by pressing the A/CH but ton on the remote control.

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

Channel Edit • The feature that allows you to add or delete channels from the list of channels 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 • The broadcast standard feature that allows you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired, Closed Captioning uses onscreen “text boxes” to show dialogue and conversations while a TV program is in progress.

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.

Direct AudioA^ideo Inputs • Connectors, located on the rear of the TV, used for the input of audio and video signals. These inputs are designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound-con nection options.

Identify • The method by which a TV remote control searches and finds an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or a cable converter). After the code has been “identified,” the TV remote control can operate and send commands to the other product.

Incredible Stereo (or Surround) • False acoustic management of the audio signal that produces a dramatic expansion of the wall of sound that surrounds the listener and heightens overall viewing pleasure.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) • The broadcast stan dard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV

picture.

Onscreen Displays (OSD) • The wording or messages generated by the television (or VCR) to help you with specific feature con trols (color adjustment or programming, for example).

Picture-in-Picture • The showing of two pictures on the TV screen at the same time (one main screen picture and one small picture, or PIP).

Programming • The process of adding or deleting channel num bers into the television’s memory circuits. Through program ming, the TV “remembers” only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

Remote Control Sensor Window • The window or opening found on the television control panel and through which infrared remote control command signals are received.

Second Audio Program (SAP) • An additional audio channel

provided for within the Multichannel Television Soxmd (MTS) broadcast standard. The most frequently proposed use for SAP

is the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV material.

Status/Exit Button • The remote-control fimction that allows

you to quickly confirm what channel number is being viewed.

Status/Exit also can be used to clear the television of onscreen

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

Twin-lead Wire • The more commonly used name for the twostrand, 300-ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and out door 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 TVs and VCRs.

Menu • An onscreen listing of feature controls that are available for you to adjust.
