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 supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on 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 Service - The appliance should be ser viced 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

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, ALL blocking/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 MPAAand TV broadcasters. (See description of ratings on this page.)

G: General Audience - All ages admitted. Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. This type of programming contains little or no violence, no strong language, and little or no sexual dialogue or situations.

PG: Parental Guidance Suggested -

This programming contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. It may contain one or more of the following: Moderate violence, some sexual situations, infrequent coarse language, or some suggestive dialogue.

PG-13: Parents Strongly Cautioned - This programming contains material that parents may find unsuitable for children under the age of 13. It contains one or more of the following: violence, sexual situations, coarse language, or suggestive dialogue.

R: Restricted -This programming is specifi- cally designed for adults. Anyone under the age of 17 should only view this programming with an accompanying parent or adult guardian. It contains one or more of the following: intense violence, intense sexual situations, strong coarse language, or intensely suggestive dialogue.

NC-17: No one under the age of 17 will be admitted. - This type of programming

should be viewed by adults only. It contains graphic violence, explicit sex, or crude indecent language.

X: Adults Only - This type of programming contains one or more of the following: very graphic violence, very graphic and explicit or indecent sexual acts, very coarse and intensely suggestive language.

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:

Press the MENU button on the

remote to show the on-screen menu.

Press the CURSOR DOWN ■

button three times to select the FEATURES menu.

Press the CURSOR RIGHT

shift to the left, then CURSOR

DOWN ■ to highlight the SmartLock control.

Press the CURSOR RIGHT

play left.

“Enter current access code”

will appear within the menu.

Press 0, 7, 1, 1 on the remote. “XXXX Code Correct” will

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

0711 on the remote control.

“XXXX Code correct” will appear.

“Next enter your new access

code” shows on the screen. Press

the NUMBERED buttons on the

remote to enter a NEW four digit code. Reenter the code for confirmation.

“XXXX Code changed” shows on the screen to let you know the new code has been set.
