again.

"Next Enter Your New Access Code" shows on the screen.

Enter a new four digit number

code using the remote.

"Access Code Changed" shows on

the screen to let you know the new code has been set.

Continue to the next page to find out how to "BLOCK" channels from viewing.

SMART HELP

Parents - it isn't possible

to unlock or defeat your Censor Code without changing to a new code number. So if your Code number changes, and you didn't change it yourself, then you will know that someone has altered the code and the blanked out channel has been viewed.

NOTE:Your TV left the factory with the Parental Code set to "0000". If you are using your TV and the Parental Control for the first time, and don't want to SETUP a new Access code number, you can use the "0000" number to block channels - see next page. The "0711" Parental Code (shown on this page) is given as a default or way to reset the Code when the current Access number is not known.

• Press outer MENU ring button (on the Right)

to go on and start to

"block" channels.

• Press outer MENU ring button (on the Left)

Since the reception of Content Advisory data can take a few seconds, you may want to use the “CHANNEL CHANGE” option to be sure no viewing is allowed during blocked program channel changes. This can eliminate the display of a few seconds of undesirable video on the TV, or receiving scenes from a Ratings blocked channel source.

USING THE REMOTE'S VCR BUTTONS

hen using the TV remote

with a VCR, first make certain it is set to control your VCR ( by the REMOTE CODE or SEARCH method - see earlier sections).

Press the VCR System

button on the remote.

Point the top of the remote

toward the front of the VCR (remote sensor window) when pressing buttons.

Power Button

Press to turn the VCR ON and OFF.

VCR System Button

Press to send remote commands to the VCR.

Channel Scan Buttons

Press to scan up or down through VCR channel numbers.

Number Buttons

Press buttons for direct VCR channel selections.

Play Button

Press to playback a tape. Hold down after pressing the RECORD button to start a recording.

Pause Button

Press to temporarily stop the tape during a playback, or recording. Press again to release Pause.

Stop Button

Press to stop the tape.

Fast Forward Button

Press to rapidly advance the tape. For some VCRs you may need to press STOP first then FF. In Playback mode hold button down to view the picture moving rapidly in the forward direction.

Press to the VCR position ("VCR" indicator on the VCR will light) to view the playback of a tape. Press again to place in the TV position ("VCR" indicator on the VCR will go OFF) to view one program while recording another program. When used with the television the AV button works as a source button. Each press cycles the TV between the AUX(iliary) Input modes, ANT A/B inputs, and the the last view channel.

Press the RECORD button to start a recording (with some VCR models you may also need to press the PLAY button on the remote to begin recording). Also use this button to set timer recordings with the VCR Plus+ programming system.

Clear Button

Press to erase incorrect entries or data when programming VCR functions.

Rewind Button

Press to rewind tapes. For some VCRs you may need to press STOP button first then REWIND. In playback mode, hold button down to view picture moving rapidly in reverse.

SMART HELP

Remember, the VCR

buttons on the remote will not operate your VCR if those features are not already found on your VCR remote control.

Note: All VCR functions (particularly Search, Rewind, Fast Forward, etc.) will operate the same as with the original VCR remote control provided with the VCR.

HOW TO USE THE PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP) FEATURE

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 inset picture - or PIP). For your ease and convenience this TV has two separate inputs (ANTenna A and 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 ANT B input is provided as a second, dedicated source option for the TV’s PIP “window” and

its feature operations. The signal connected to the ANT B input can be either a Split Signal Input (as described in the section 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 channels connected to the ANT(enna) B Input can be shown and used within the PIP window:

This TV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the TV off in case of moderate power surges. Should this occur turn the TV back on by pressing the POWER button once or twice, or unplug and then replug the power cord at the AC outlet. This feature is NOT designed to prevent damage due to high power surges such as those caused by lightning, which is not covered by your warranty.

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- do not use household cleaners). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

• Specially designed screen cleaning kits are also available which contain anti-static cleaners and cloths designed to get into the ridges of the TV screen. If interested, ask your dealer about an optional Projection TV Screen Cleaning Kit or call our toll-free Accessory Parts ordering number 1-800-851-8885.

• 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 cabinet back.

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

CAUTION: A video 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 (CDI, etc.) 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

Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rear of the TV these connectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio and video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound connection options.

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.

Display * An on screen message or graphics that help the user operate and adjust TV feature controls. See On Screen Displays (OSD).

Identify* Method by which a remote control searches and finds an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or Cable Converter). Once the code has been "identified" then the TV remote can operate and send commands to the other product.

LED * Light Emitting Diode or indicator. Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the TV

screen that are made available for user adjustments. Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard

that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture. On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages

generated by the TV to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).

Picture -In-Picture (PIP) * Term used when two pictures are shown on the TV screen at the same time. The smaller PIP picture is supplied by a VCR (or other tuner/video playback source). The PIP picture can also be moved and swapped with the TV's main screen picture.

Pre-Amplifier * The control center of a hi-fi system. Not only amplifies source inputs, but also allows for source selection, volume, tone, balance and all other controls that affect the sound.

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

PTV * Projection Television (Rear and/or Front projection design systems are available.)

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

RF * Radio Frequency or modulated signal design used as the carrier for television broadcasts.

Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or additional audio channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. A monaural soundtrack included within the recorded or video signal (usually containing a second language translation for the displayed programming.)

Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the TV of on-screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically disappear from the screen).

Subwoofer * A speaker designed for audio playback of only the lowest-frequency notes (under 100 Hz.)

S-Video Input * Allows direct connection of high-resolution video sources, such as a Super VHS videocassette recorder, Laser Disc player, etc. Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity.

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.

Variable Audio Output * An adjustable audio output which allows for volume variations at the source.
