7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in

accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. Apolarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

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. This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org

16. 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

exhibits a marked change in performance; or

E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure

damaged.

17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinet design.

• Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could ultimately overturn the product.

• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.

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

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

20. 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.

Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.

21 Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that

objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

Example of Antenna Grounding as per NEC - National Electric Code

Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides

guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

T

he AutoLock feature can help par-

ents censor what their children watch on TV. AutoLock receives content advisories sent by broadcasters or other program providers. After you program AutoLock, it can respond to the content advisories and block programs that contain content which you may consider objectionable—offensive language, violence, or sexual situations.

In this 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 on this page are brief explanations of AutoLock terms and program ratings.

Terms BLOCKING control—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.

BLOCK UNRATED control—if set to ON, blocks all unrated programs.

Unrated programming consists of the kind of shows that the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) or the TV broadcasters have chosen not to rate.

NO RATING control—if set to ON, blocks all programming with no content advisory data.

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 can also block individual channels using the BLOCK CHANNEL control.

TV-G (General Audience)—likely to be considered suitable for children of all ages. Such programs have little or no violence, no strong language, and little or no sexual dialogue or sexual situations.

TV-PG(Parental Guidance Suggested)—contain material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. This type of programming has one or more of the following: moderate violence (V), some sexual situations (S), infrequent coarse language (L), or some suggestive dialogue (D).

TV-14(Parents Strongly Cautioned)—contain material that many parents will find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age. Such programs have one or more of the following: intense violence (V); intense sexual situations (S); strong, coarse language (L); or intensely suggestive dialogue (D).

REVIEWING YOUR SETTINGS

MOVIE RATING—shows all the movie ratings that you have chosen to block within the

MOVIE RATING control. NOTE: If a lower rating is blocked, higher ratings will also be blocked automatically. For example, if you block R-rated programs, those that are rated X will also be blocked.

TV RATING—shows all the TV ratings that you have chosen to block within the TV RATING control. NOTE: If a lower rating is blocked, higher ratings will also be blocked automatically. For example, if you block TV-PG-rated programs, those rated TV-14 and TV-MA will also be blocked. The TV rating controls also have subratings for Violence (V), Fantasy Violence (FV), Sexual Situations (S), Coarse Language (L), and Suggestive Language (D). If you turn off a main rating but turn on a subrating of that main rating control, programs having the subrating will be blocked; however, the main rating will not appear within the AutoLock review menu because you did not turn it ON.

BLOCK UNRATED—shows whether you have turned this control ON or OFF.

BLOCK NO RATING—shows whether you have turned this control ON or OFF.

Y

ou can access a screen that shows your AutoLock settings.

Press the i+ button on your

remote twice. Your AutoLock set-

tings will appear on the screen. NOTE: If you have blocked specific

subratings, such as V for Violence in the TV-PG category, these blocked subratings will not appear in the review. Nonetheless, the subratings are still blocked according to your selections.

After a few seconds, the set-

tings will leave the screen auto-

matically, or you can press the i+ button to remove them from the screen.

our TV remote is capable of work-

ing not only your TV but also infrared remote (IR) controlled devices such as VCRs, cable TV converter boxes, satellite receivers, DVD players, and laser disc players.

If you want to use your TV remote to operate a VCR or other accessory device, you will need to perform this initial check explained in this section. You may also need to go to the sections on the “Direct Access Method” and the “Search Method” in the pages that follow.

Move the slide switch on the side

of the TV remote to VCR or ACC mode for the accessory device category you want.

NOTE: selecting the ACC(essory) mode button allows access to the product codes for cable TV converters, DVD players, satellite receivers, and laser disc players.

Point the TV remote toward the

desired accessory device and press the POWER button.

Does the remote turn the accessory device on?

If yes, and try other function but-

tons on the TV remote. If they also work the accessory device, then the remote is ready and no further steps are needed.

If no, do the following: Look up a three-digit remote code

number on page 45 or 46 for your

brand of accessory device. Then go through the simple Direct Access Method steps shown on page 43.

BEGIN

Remote Control • Working Accessory Devices

Y

our TV remote can be set to work

various accessory devices (VCRs, cable converters, satellite receivers) by what is called the Search Method. NOTE: The Search Method works with devices equipped with Channel Display Indicators (cable TV converters, satellite receivers, etc.). For VCRs, the play/stop function is used to confirm that the correct code has been found. Please read the steps below once before performing them.

Turn on the desired device. For a

VCR, insert a tape and begin playing.

Move the slide switch on the side

of the TV remote to VCR or ACC

mode for the desired device.

Press and hold the VCR

RECORD (•) and SMARTSOUND

buttons at the same time.

While continuing to hold the VCR RECORD (•) and SMARTSOUND buttons, point the TV remote at the remote sensor window

of the accessory device. The TV remote will begin transmitting codes to try to find the one for your accessory device.

For cable converter boxes and satellite receivers, watch the accessory device’s Channel Indicator.

When the channel numbers begin to change, immediately release the VCR RECORD (•) and SMARTSOUND buttons. The TV remote has identified the correct remote code for the accessory device. For VCRs, when the

VCR player stops, the correct code has been found. When you release

the VCR RECORD and SMARTSOUND buttons, the remote code for the accessory device will be stored in the TV remote. Whenever you want to use the TV remote to work the accessory device, remember to have the slide switch on the TV remote in the VCR or ACC mode. Then point the TV remote at the accessory device to operate it.

BEGIN

SEARCH METHOD

SMART HELP

• Your TV remote may

locate the accessory device’s code quickly or require several minutes to do so.

• Don’t let the accessory device scan through more than five channels when the correct code is found— the remote may pass up the right code and have to repeat the search cycle.

• If the channel does not change on the accessory device or if the VCR fails to stop, repeat steps 1–4. If there is still no response, the remote will not work the accessory device or VCR.

USING PIP (BASIC CONNECTIONS)

Picture-in-Picture (PIP) • Basic Connections

P

icture-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.

NOTE: The PIP picture must be supplied by a VCR (or other accessory device equipped with a VIDEO OUT[PUT] jack). The following connection example uses the AV1 IN(puts), but you may use AV2 instead, if you would like.

Connect an antenna or cable TV

signal to the ANTENNA IN(put) on

the back of the VCR.

Connect the VIDEO OUT jack

on the VCR to the AV1 IN(put) for

VIDEO on the back of the TV. Also connect the AUDIO OUT(puts)

(R and L) jacks from the VCR to the AV1 IN(puts) (R and L) for AUDIO on the back of the TV.

Turn the VCR and TV on.

Place the VCR in TV mode—Use

the VCR/TV button on the VCR.

Press the PIP on/off button on

the TV remote.

The PIP window should show in one of the corners of the TV screen.

Press the PIP SOURCE button

on your TV remote until the input source to which you connected your VCR (in this example, AV 1) appears in the PIP window.

Select the channel on the VCR to

view in the PIP window. You can do this with your TV remote (in VCR mode) if you have set it to work with your VCR (see page 42).

Put the TV/VCR/ACC switch on the remote in TV mode and select the channel on the TV to view on the main screen.

Remember, be sure the TV

remote is in the correct mode when you switch back and forth between the VCR and the TV.

If you see the same picture on the main screen and in the PIP window, you need to be sure you have selected the source to which you connected the VCR.

For other possible PIP connections see the “More PIP Connections” section.

If you have a single (monaural) audio output VCR, “Y” connectors are available to complete your connection. Contact your dealer, or our Parts Information Center at

1-800-851-8885 for details.
