SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Read before operating equipment

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation precautions which you should be particularly aware of.

1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water

- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.

6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved

with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

6B. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended inter-

national global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinet design.

• Do not compromise these design standards by applying exces-

sive 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 elec-

tronic 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.

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

8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a builtin installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10 . Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power sup-

ply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

11. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.

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

14. 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 mats and supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. 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

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

17. Damage Requiring Ser vice - 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;

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.

18. Ser vicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance

beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

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.

Standard broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV) channel capability.

Stereo Ready TV with built-in audio amplifier and

twin speaker system for receiving TV programs broadcast in stereo sound.

Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dialogue or voice conversations as onscreen text.

Automatic Programming of Channels for quick and easy selection of favorite stations available in your area.

Onscreen Features (in either English, French, or Spanish) show helpful messages for setting of TV controls.

Audio/Video Jackpanel for direct connections with VCRs (or other video accessories) providing quality TV picture and sound playback.

Twin Antenna (A/B) Inputs for easy displaying of two separate signal sources on the TV. An A/B button on the remote control switches the TV’s Main screen between the two Antenna (A& B) Input options.

Surround Sound external speaker connections allow you hook your TV to external audio equipment for more dynamic sound replay and audio effects.

On Timer automatically turns the TV ON at a preset time, and channel.

Sleep-Timer automatically turns the TV OFF at preset times.

he SmartLock feature receives

and processes data sent by broadcasters, or other program providers, that contain program content advisories. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with SmartLock 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 programming children may watch.

Over the next few pages, you’ll learn how to block channels and

certain rated programming, as well as learn to turn these blocking features on or off. Below is a brief explanation of some terms and ratings you will find in the SmartLock feature.

SmartLock offers various Blocking Options from which to choose:

BLOCKING: This is what might be called the "master switch" for SmartLock. When BLOCKING is OFF, ALLblocking/censoring is disabled. When BLOCKING is ON, ALL blocking based on specific settings will take place.

BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated programs will be blocked if this feature is set to ON.

UNRATED programming is encoded with information from the MPAA 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 information from the MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any programming could fall into this category.

You also can block individual channels or block programming

based on ratings of the MPAA and TV broadcasters. (See description of ratings on this page.)

USING SMARTLOCK - SETTING UP THE ACCESS CODE

Parents - it isn’t possible for your child to unblock a channel without knowing your access code or changing it to a new one. If your code changes, and you didn’t change it, then you know it’s been altered by someone else and blocked channels have been viewed.

martLock allows parents to

block out or “censor” any channels they think children should not watch. A channel blocked by the SmartLock control cannot be viewed until a correct access code is used to unlock the channel for viewing. First let’s set your SmartLock access code:

appear.

If you enter the wrong code, “XXXX Incorrect - Please reenter access code” will appear.

Re-enter the 0, 7, 1, 1 code on the remote. “XXXX Code Correct” will appear.

Press the CURSOR DOWN

■

button to highlight SETUP CODE, then press the CURSOR RIGHT

©© button.

You will be asked to enter the

current access code again. Press
