Important Information

Alert Guard™ Important Information

• The green READY light on the front panel of the TV is the main indicator that the Alert Guard system is receiving NWR broadcast information. If it's not lit, the Alert Guard system can’t inform you of alerts. During poor reception conditions, the Alert Guard system might not inform you of alerts even if the green light is on.

• Generally, the Alert Guard system can fail to notify you of dangerous conditions for the following reasons:

1. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) did not broadcast an alert. Certain

criteria must be met for NOAA to issue an alert, and only certain events are reported by NOAA. While weather forecasting continues to improve, it is not perfectly accurate. For this reason, situations that might be dangerous to you may be unknown to NOAA.

2. Power was lost to the TV during the time when an alert was broadcast. If power is lost for more

than 15 seconds, the Alert Guard system will notify you that power was interrupted the next time the TV is turned on. Any alerts issued during a power failure won't be acknowledged by the Alert Guard system. Therefore, you might want to purchase a battery operated alert radio or have a battery powered radio available for listening when household power fails.

3. Reception of the NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) was poor at the time an alert was broadcast. Since

NOAA only broadcasts an alert once, momentary loss of reception can prevent alerts from being received.

4. Options in the Alert Guard menu, such as locations and the NWR channel, were not set

appropriately. Instructions within the User's Guide will help you set up Alert Guard correctly.

• Alert Guard shouldn't be your only source of information. You should always maintain personal, family, and neighborhood safeguard systems, and remain aware of changing conditions. The Alert Guard system relays alerts based on information provided by the NWR. The Alert Guard system is designed to recognize all alerts currently issued over the all hazards NWR broadcast system. Incidents (such as local traffic accidents and weather related school closings) that don't endanger the community with immediate threats are

• Alert Guard coverage is limited to the U.S., U.S. territories, possessions and associated states, within your local geographic area. These areas are listed on pages 37-54.

• While it appears you can set up the Alert Guard system to receive alerts from across the country, it can only receive alerts broadcast for areas close to the location of the TV.

• For models 20F671T, 24F671T, 27V571T, and 27F671T, don’t leave headphones plugged in when they aren’t in use. Alarms will sound through the headphones and not the TV’s speakers, causing alarms not to be heard.

• If your TV is connected to a receiver, amplifier, home theater system, or other audio equipment, alerts won’t be audible through such devices connected to the audio output terminals of the TV; instead, the Alert Guard system will turn on the TV’s internal speakers to sound an alarm and make the alerts audible.

• Non-weather emergency messages, such as chemical spills, nuclear power plant emergencies, gas line breaks, etc., are not fully implemented nationally.

• If you receive an alert that tells you to seek shelter, do so immediately and don't continue to listen for other alerts until you are safe.

• It might take time, and after you've received several alerts, before you understand how the Alert Guard feature works.

• While government agencies use sophisticated equipment, such as weather models, radars, and satellites to determine an alert’s effective time and duration, the end of an alert also does not necessarily mean that related emergency events are over. Weather conditions can change rapidly, and caution should be taken before and after alerts.

Chapter 1: Connections & Setup

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 TV 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 TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle of the TV.

• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Important Stand and Base Safety Information

Choose the location for your TV carefully. Place the TV on a stand or base that is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions packed separately.

Use Indirect Light

Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect lighting.

Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components

The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of remote controllable components. The remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components.

Also, the AUX button can be programmed to operate most brands of an additional remote-controllable component.

Notes: The TV button can’t be programmed on this remote.

The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that came with your component.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed for your component, turn the component ON. For example, to program the remote for a VCR, turn on the VCR. Point the remote at the VCR, and press the VCR1 button. Then press ON•OFF or CH + (channel up) or CH – (channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If the component does not respond, the remote needs to be programmed.

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control:

• automatic code search

• direct entry

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 remote turns off.

1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)

2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR1, DVD, etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.

3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the indicator on the remote stops flashing.

At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.

Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If the component does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the remote can’t be programmed to operate that component. Press CLEAR to turn off the indicator light.

Using the Remote Control

If the component you want to control does turn off:

1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns back ON.

2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.

Using Direct Entry

1. Turn on the component to be programmed.

2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section.

3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.

4. Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable.

5. Release the component button.

6. Point the remote at the component. Press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.

• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.

• If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn’t find the code, the remote is not compatible with your component.

How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It

Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV, DVD, VCR, satellite receiver, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to control the TV, you would press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode before you could control the TV.

1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR1, VCR2, SAT•CABLE, AUX) to set the remote to control the component.

2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.

3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Note: If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR, press VCR1 on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)

Alert Guard

Alert Guard receives digital data known as SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) combined with audio information provided by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Weather Radio (NWR).

Note: For more information about NOAA, visit www.noaa.gov.

NOAA conducts a weekly test for the all hazards broadcast system. The test is once a week on Wednesday between 10 a.m. and 12 noon for approximately 15 minutes. If there is ongoing severe weather or a threat of severe weather, the test is postponed until the next available good-weather day. Alert Guard uses this test to ensure you’ve set the channel and locations properly. If Alert Guard detects a problem, on-screen messages appear to provide help.

The Alert Guard system receives alerts for the U.S., U.S. territories, possessions and associated states, within your local geographic area. Your TV can’t receive any alerts for locations outside these areas. Also, if alerts are issued for areas other than those that you set in the Location menu, Alert Guard won’t notify you of those alerts.

Alerts received by the Alert Guard system follow: NOAA Natural and Weather Events- These include approximately 30 alerts, such

as tornadoes, flash floods, avalanches, blizzards, forest fires, hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanoes, earthquakes, etc.

State and County Civil Emergency Alerts- The Alert Guard feature responds to current civil emergency alerts issued by all hazards NWR network. These include localized nuclear power plant emergencies, gas line breaks, train derailments, missing children alerts (America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response- AMBER Alerts), etc. These non-weather emergency messages are not fully implemented nationally.

National, Regional and State Civil Emergency Alerts- These include high level state or federal emergencies, such as national attack warnings, terrorist attack alerts (these aren’t the “Threat Advisories” issued by the Department of Homeland Security), bio-warfare alerts and other immediate life-threatening emergencies. This information is relayed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and NOAA over the all hazards NWR network.

Alert Guard has several different levels of alerts. A list and explanation follows: Warning- These alone pose a significant threat to public safety and/or property,

probability of occurrence and location is high, and the onset time is relatively short.

Watch- Meets classification of a warning, but either the onset time, probability of occurrence, or location is uncertain.

Advisory- This event by itself might not kill, injure, or cause property damage but may indirectly cause other things to happen that result in a hazard.

A list of the type of alert levels you can receive follows on the next page.

6. Press the down arrow button to highlight Alarm type. Press the right arrow button to highlight the type of alarm you want to hear when receiving an Advisory. As you select Siren, Chime or Voice, you will hear what each sound like. If you don’t want any alarm set, choose None.

Notes: For models 20F671T, 24F671T, 27V571T and 27F671T, don’t leave headphones plugged in when they aren’t in use. Alarms will sound through the headphones and not the TV’s speakers, causing alarms not to be heard.

If your TV is connected to a receiver, amplifier, home theater system, or other audio equipment, alerts won’t be audible through such devices connected to the audio output terminals of the TV; instead, the Alert Guard system will turn on the TV’s internal speakers to sound an alarm and make the alerts audible.

7. If you set an Alarm type, press the down arrow button to highlight Alarm volume. Press the right or left arrow button to set the highest volume of the alarm. You might want to think of how loud the volume needs to be if you’re somewhere else in your home . For example, if you want the alarm to wake you up while sleeping in the other room, then you might need to set the volume at the highest level.

The Siren option is a loud sound, designed to get your attention. The Chime option is a subtle sound for those easily startled. When the Siren or Chime sounds, it starts soft and continues to get louder until it reaches the maximum volume you set. The Voice option is the voice of NWR which states the alert and then shuts off. The Voice option doesn’t get louder. It speaks at the volume you set.

8. When finished, if you want to customize Warning or Watch level, press the up or down arrow button to highlight Alert level. Then follow steps 4-7.

Why You Should Use the Auto Tuning Feature

The auto tuning feature automatically tunes the TV to the correct channel for different components you have connected to your TV (like a VCR, DVD Player, etc.) When you set up auto tuning in the menu system, you don’t have to remember to change your TV to channel 3; for example, when you want to watch the tape in your VCR.

How to Set Up the Auto Tuning Feature

The way you set up the auto tuning feature in the TV’s menu corresponds to the component buttons on the remote and the way you have each component connected to your TV. When you set up auto tuning, you’re telling the TV what channel to tune to when you press the VCR1, VCR2, DVD, or SAT•CABLE button on the remote control.

1. Press MENU (the MAIN MENU appears).

2. Highlight Setup and press OK on your remote control.

3. Highlight Auto Tuning and press OK.

4. Choose which channel you would like to set:

Set VCR1 The channel the TV tunes to when you press the VCR1 button. Set VCR2 The channel the TV tunes to when you press the VCR2 button. Set SAT/CABLE The channel the TV tunes to when you press the SAT•CABLE button. Set DVD The channel the TV tunes to when you press the DVD button.

5. Press the right arrow button to select the choice that matches the way you have the component connected to this TV, and press OK.

Parental Controls and V-Chip

The choices in the USA V-CHIP menu involve software inside your TV (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.

Once you block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password. By default, the software inside your TV is turned “off.” For instructions to turn on

V-Chip, go to page 28.

How V-Chip Works

V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message This channel has not been approved for viewing. Change

channel or press OK to enter password and temporarily deactivate the Parental Control.

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 TV agebased ratings and content themes you can block follow:

USA V-Chip Rating System

TV-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).

TV-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 (L), intense sexual situations (S), or intense violence (V).

TV-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).

TV-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).

TV-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 comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age of 7.

TV-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.

Alert Guard Problems NWR channel not clear

• Make sure you have connected the provided Alert Guard antenna to the EXT Alert Guard ANT jack on the back of the TV. Go to page 8 for more information.

•You might be tuned to an NWR channel outside your immediate area. Go to the NWR CHANNEL menu to check all NWR channels receiving local area forecasts. Select the channel that sounds most appropriate.

• If the signal’s still not clear, you might need to connect an outdoor or amplified antenna to the EXT Alert Guard ANT jack on the back of the TV. For optimal reception, connect an outdoor antenna. Use an amplified antenna if you can’t connect an outdoor antenna. Go to page 59 to purchase an amplified antenna.

Not getting local weather information from the NWR channel

• Make sure the NWR channel is set to a local channel.

Message on-screen that READY light is out and NWR channel can’t send alerts for My Area

•You might be tuned to an NWR channel outside your immediate area. Go to the NWR CHANNEL menu to check all NWR channels receiving forecasts for your local area. If

several channels sound equally as good, pick the one with your local forecast.

•You might have set My Area to a location where the TV isn’t located. For example, you might live in Indiana, but have a cottage in Ottawa County, Michigan. If the TV is in Michigan, you need to set the state of My Area to Michigan and the county to Ottawa County. Go to the Alert Guard menu and select Locations to check My Area setting.

• In rare cases, the NWR channel might not serve your area (generally, rural areas). From the

LOCATIONS menu select the next closest area to you or choose your state and select All nearby.

Message on-screen that READY light is out and no weekly test was received

• If you live in an area that generally does not receive good reception and you’ve tried setting a different NWR channel, you might need to connect an outdoor or amplified antenna to the EXT Alert Guard ANT jack on the back of the TV. For optimal reception, connect an outdoor antenna. Use an amplified antenna if you can’t connect an outdoor antenna. Go to page 59 to purchase an amplified antenna.

• If weather conditions are bad for several consecutive days, NOAA might not have been able to broadcast a test. If so, press CLEAR after receiving the message and check in a few days to see if the green READY light is back on. If the problem persists, the message will appear again in 9 days. Failure to fix the problem could result in alerts not being received.
