Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges
* Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet

* Turn off the W and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions
packed separately.

Protect Components from Overheating

• Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components Arrange the components so that air can

circulate freely.

• Don't stack components.

• If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it

won't flow around other components.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack

• If you place components above the IV, route all cables down the side of the back of the I1/instead

of straight down the middle of the IV.

• If your antenna uses 3OO-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the canes. ABo, keep the twin lead

cables away from aud{olvideo cables.

Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your IV carefully. Place the IV on a stand or base that is of adequate size and

strength to prevent the IV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could
cause personal injury andlor damage the IV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions packed
separately.

Use Indirect Light
Don't place the IV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or

indirect lighting.

2. Hold the remote control (not the one that came with your IV, but the one that

came with the cable box andtor VCR to which you're attaching the G-LINK
cable) so that it is touching the front of the component.

3. Slowly move the remote control across the front of the component (VCR or
cable box) while you press the power button on and off. You must press and
release the power button each time you move the remote (holding down the

button won't work).

4. When the component turns on, you've located the remote sensor.

There are two ways to program the remote control:

• automatic code search

• direct entry

Chapter 2 Graphics contained within this publication ere for representetion only. 13

Usingthe Remote Co trol

Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of

your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without
programming any of your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the

indicator on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.

3, Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY(the indieator light

on the remote flashes).

The remote is searching for the correct code to program. When the indicator
stops flashing ]after about 5 seconds], press PLAY again to tell the remote to
search the next set of codes.

Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or the indicator light on

the remote turns off. If the indicator light turns off, then all the codes for that

particular component have been tested once. If the component does not turn
off, then the remote can't be programmed to operate that component.

Using the Features

Parental Controls and V-Chip

The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your ]V so that children cannot see
certain programs, channels, or use the front panel controls. The first three choices in the

Parental Controls menu involve software inside your I1/(referred to as V-Chip) which
allows you to block TV programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content

you may believe children should not view. In other words, it lets you program your IV so
it won't display certain programs.

Once you block programs, you or other adults can unbloek programs by entering a
password.

By default, the software inside your IV is turned "off," so if you don't want to use this
feature, you can just ignore it.

How V-Chip Works
V-Chip reads the program's age-based rating ITV-MA, IV-14, etc.) and content themes

[(Violence (V), Adult Language {L), etc.]],If you have blocked the rating andtor content
themes that the program contains, you will receive the message This ehannet is not
approved for viewing.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no
content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also

block out programs that have been given a rating of Not Rated, and programs that are
considered unrated. The I1/age-based ratings and content themes you can block follow:

]V-MA (Mature Audience Only) Specifically designed to be viewed by adults and may
be unsuitable for children under 17. It contains one or more of the following content
themes: crude indecent language (L), explicit sexual activity {S], or graphic violence (V).

11/-14 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) Contains some material that many parents would
find unsuitable for children under 14. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater
care in monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under the
age of 14 watch unattended. This program contains one or more of the following
content themes: intensely suggestive dialogue {D), strong coarse language (k], intense

sexual situations (S), or intense violence (V).

1V-PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) Contains material that parents may find
unsuitable for younger children Many parents may want to watch it with their
younger children The program contains one or more of the following content themes:
some suggestive dialogue (D], infrequent coarse language (L], some sexual situations (S),
or moderate violence (V).

1V-G (General Audience) Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. It
contains little or no sexual dialogue (D] or situations (S], no strong language (L], and

little or no violence (V).
1V-Y7 (Directed to Children 7 years and older) Designed for children ages 7 and above.

It may be more appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental skills
needed to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Themes and elements in this

program may include mild fantasy violence (FV] or eomedic violence, or may frighten
children under the age of 7.

lV-Y (All Children) Themes and elements in this program are designed for a young
audience, including children from ages 2-6. It is not expected to frighten younger

children.

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION: Turn OFF your IV before cleaning.
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally

dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation
The IV's screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to

scratch or mar the screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm
water. Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or

abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the IV.
While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down

the screen and inside the IV. Also, never place drinks or vases with water on top of the
IV. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the IV.

Caution: Using video games or any external accessory with fixed images for extended
periods of time can cause them to be permanently imprinted on the picture tube (or

projection IV picture tubes). AtSO, some network/program logos, phone numbers, etc.
may cause similar damage. This damage is not covered by your warranty.
