TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES

(TV BROADCASTERS)

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

Remote Sensor Window • A window or opening found on the 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 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).

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 • Designed for first time set up and use where the TV is set for antenna or cable TV signal connections.
