Remote Key Command Functions

Note: The table below illustrates the menu structure for the
Destination II PC/TV while in REAR COMPUTER SVGA mode.
As with the Remote Key Command Functions, menus are
operated through the NUMBER keypad. Generally speaking,
keys 4 and 6 adjust menu options, key 8 cycles through

menus and key 5 cancels all operations no matter what
menu you are adjusting. Although menus are available in
the Advanced mode, adjustments in this mode should only
be made by a qualified electronics/service technician.

MOTION PICTURE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA (MPAA) RATING SYSTEM

G General Audiences Content not offensive to most viewers.
PG Parental Guidance Content is such that parents may not want their children to view the program.

Suggested

PG-13 Parental Guidance Program is inappropriate for preteens, with a greater degree of offensive material

Suggested than a PG rated program.

R Restricted viewing Not for children under age 17. Strong elements of sex and/or violence.
NC-17 Restricted Viewing Not for children under age 17 under any circumstances. Strong sexual content.
X Hard Core Films Same as NC-17 rating.

Note: Gateway, Inc. is not liable for any program content that appears when using this rating system; as always, user
discretion is advised.

Overview

To insure complete coverage for all TV programs, (movies and regular TV shows) choose a rating for MPAA, from the selec­tions below AND choose ratings from the TV Parental Guidelines Rating System on the next page, using the Age Block
option for General Audiences, and for Children. In addition to those, you may wish to add additional restrictions from the
Content Block menu. See the Parental Control menu, and submenus example on the next page.

Things to Consider before Setting Up Parental Control

Determine which rating you consider acceptable to the viewer. (For example, if you choose TV-PG, all more restrictive rat­ings will be automatically blocked; the viewer will not be able to see: TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA rated programming.)

Do you want to block the auxiliary video source entirely? (Blocks the signal sent by the equipment, such as a VCR, con­nected to the TV Audio/Video input jacks; in the Aux. Block option.) Or leave unblocked, then choose allowable ratings.

Block program “Content” based on individual parameters such as: Strong Dialog, Bad Language, Sex Scenes, Violence
Scenes, or Fantasy Violence Scenes; in the Content Blk option.

How many hours do you want Parental Control to be active? You can set the Hours option for up to 99 hours.
Select a secret password; in the Set Password option. Use the number keys on the remote. Don’t forget the password, it is

the only way you can access the Parental Control menu and change rating selections, or turn Parental Control off.
Do you want Parental Control to be active all the time? If not, you can turn it on or off; with the Lock On/Off option.

If used, this optional feature can “block” undesirable programming from appearing on the TV.
Note: Parental Control is not available in Computer Mode. To block Computer inputs, use the block AUX
SOURCES option in the Parental Control menu in TV Mode; computer inputs will not be available.

You can set different Parental Control viewing restric­tions for general audiences and for children - - both can
be active at the same time

.

Simply specifying one content block such as Sex Scenes,
will not automatically block another content in the pro­grams from appearing.

Even if you choose to leave the Aux inputs unblocked, the
ratings you specify will automatically restrict the program­ming that appears from the video sources.

You cannot disable Parental Control by disconnecting the TV
from power. Block hours will automatically reset to the origi­nal block time setting specified if power is disconnected.

Parental Control offers the user a wide variety of options and settings that restrict or “block” the programming that can
appear on the TV. Parental control allows the user the capability of defining which program rating they consider accept­able, to the younger or more sensitive viewer. It can be preset and turned either on or off by the user who specifies the
secret 4-number code, the password. The number of hours blocked are specified. General audience and children viewer
blocks should both be programmed into the TV’s memory. Viewer ratings are specified for both TV and the motion picture
industry; both rating systems should be used, for complete coverage. The ratings are based on the ages of children.

that is intended for qualified service technicians only is not shown (items 31-210).
Normally these items do not require adjustment.

Items in the Installer’s Menu:

Installer should leave item
00 FACT MENU set to 0
(default). Items 31-210 are

service-type adjustments and
only qualified technicians having special­ized test equipment should access them.

Installer Menus

*Note: Installer Menu Items

Changing TV Mode Values Installer menu options: 01 PRESETPX (Preset Picture),
02 PRESETAX (Preset Audio), 04 VERTPOS (Vertical Position), and 05 HORZ
POS (Horizontal Position), have separate values for TV mode and Computer mode.
If you enter the installer menu with the source being a TV channel, Aux, S-Video, or
Camport you change the values for TV mode only.

Changing Computer Mode Values

To change values for Computer mode, press TV/VCR SOURCE to select REAR
COMPUTER SVGAor FRONT COMPUTER SVGA as the source, then enter the
installer menu. The changes you make will then apply to Computer Mode.

00 FACT MENU (Factory Menu)

Used to access and customize Service Menu settings using the
installer type remote.

01 PRESET PX (Preset Picture)*

Saves your custom video settings (color, tint, contrast, and
brightness) in nonvolatile memory (not affected by power loss).
Memory status is indicated by a 1 for “custom settings already
stored,” or 0 for “custom settings have not been stored.”

Make all custom video settings before you access the Installer’s
Menu: and PRESET PX. When you use the ADJUST keys to toggle
from 0 - 1, any changes in the video settings will be stored sure
they are correct! These settings become the PRESET values for the
PICTURE PREF option of the Video Menu. (For more information
refer to the Video Menu section of this manual.)

02 PRESET AX (Preset Audio)

Saves your custom audio settings in nonvolatile memory (not
affected by power loss). Memory status is indicated by a 0 for
“custom settings already stored,” or 1 for “custom settings have
not been stored.”

Make all custom audio settings before you access the Installer’s
Menu and PRESET AX. When you use the ADJUST keys to toggle
from 0 - 1, any changes in the audio settings will be stored be
sure they are correct! These settings become the PRESET values
for the Audio Menu. (For more information refer to the Audio
Menu section of this manual.)

03 POWER MANAGE (Power Management)

The POWER MANAGE function is for saving energy. When set to 0,
Power Manage is OFF. Settings range from 0 - 7, with 1 - 7 repre­senting the hours that the TV will remain on, unless there has
been activity from either the control panel or remote.

04 VERT POS (Vertical Position)*

Moves captions and displays vertically on the screen. Use the
Left/Right ADJUST arrows. Typical value is 15. Black bars top and
bottom define the active screen area.

05 HORZ POS (Horizontal Position)*

Moves captions and displays horizontally on the screen. Use the
ADJUST keys. Typical value is 34. Black bars top and bottom
define the active screen area.

06 BAND/AFC (Band/Automatic Frequency Control)

There are 8 possible settings for this option:

0 = Broadcast Fixed 4 = Broadcast AFC

5 = CATV Fixed 1 = CATV AFC
6 = HRC Fixed 2 = HRC AFC
7 = ICC Fixed 3 = ICC AFC

Channels are accessed faster when fixed modes are used. The AFC
(search modes) should only be used when some channels are not
on nominal frequencies.
NOTE: BAND is automatically set by AUTO PROGRAM.

If some channels were not found by AUTO PROGRAM, select the
appropriate AFC setting here and add the channels using the
ADD/DEL option in the Setup Menu.

07 MIN VOLUME (Minimum Volume)

This function determines the minimum volume level allowable
with the VOLUME (VOL) Up/Down control. In this way, for exam­ple, someone cannot set the volume too low to hear. The range is
from 0 to 63—change values with ADJUST . The factory default is
0, which provides full range of volume control. It may be best to
set the same value on every TV. NOTE: The minimum volume level
cannot have a value setting higher than in the MAX VOLUME level
(described below).

08 MAX VOLUME (Maximum Volume)

This function determines the maximum volume level allowable
with the VOLUME VOL Up/Down control. In this way, for example,
someone cannot set the volume level high enough to disturb oth­ers. The range is 0 to 63, with 63 as the default which gives the
user the full range of volume control. Change values with ADJUST
keys. It may be best to set the same value on every TV. NOTE: The
maximum volume level cannot have a value setting lower than the
MIN VOLUME level (described above).

09 AC ON (AC Power Switchable)

Allows the TV to turn ON just by applying AC power. Pressing the
ON button is not necessary. This is desirable when the TV is
plugged into a cable box or a power outlet controlled by a wall
switch. Use ADJUST to select 0 or 1, where 0 is the default is
OFF, and 1 is ON.
NOTE: When set to 1 (ON), the TV does not respond to ON/OFF
commands from either the remote or the control panel, and the
SLEEP TIMER is also nonfunctional.

10 KEY DEFEAT (Keyboard Defeat)

When set to 1, it prevents the end user from accessing screen
menus on the front panel—MENU, SELECT, and ADJUST do not
function. When set to 0, those keys are functional. The menus can
always be accessed with MENU on the remote.

Continued from previous page.

11 STRT CHANNEL (Start Channel)

When active, this function allows you to determine the initial
channel number when the TV is turned ON. This feature is useful
for an in-house information channel, since the TV would always
select that channel when it is turned on. Setting this to 255 caus­es the last channel viewed when TV was turned off to be the
tuned to channel when the TV is turned on again.

The range of values is 0 - 255. Use (adjust) keys to choose num­bers that determine the start channel.

12 STRT VOLUME (Start Volume)

When active, this function allows you to determine the initial vol­ume level setting when the TV is turned ON. This feature is useful
for an in-house information channel, since the TV would always
select that channel when it is turned on. When inactive, the vol­ume level and channel retain the settings when the set was last
used.

The range of values is 0 - 63, 255. Use (adjust) keys to choose:
(1) With number 255 the feature is inactive. (2) Set the volume
level as desired before exiting the installer menu.

13 NOT USED

14 CHAN LOCK (Channel Lock)

When set to 1 the CHAN LOCK is ideal if a cable box (or similar) is
the sole source for programming—and the TV must always be on
the same channel. Changing channels with Channel Up/Down or
keypad numbers is impossible. Channel Lock is inactive when set
to 0 (default).

Generally, this feature is used in connection with START CHANNEL
(line 11) where the start channel may, for example, be set to 3 or

4. If the start channel is 3 then the TV will remain on channel 3.
NOTE: When channel lock is active AUTO PROGRAM and CH.
ADD/DEL in the SETUP MENU are not active.

15 GHOST CH. (Ghost Channel)

When set to 1, the current channel number is displayed in the
upper right corner of the CRT. The number moves slightly to pre­vent damage to the screen. The default is “0” or OFF.
NOTE: When captions are on, the “ghost channel” is not displayed.

16 NOT USED

17 TEXT MODE

Determines whether TEXT 1, TEXT 2, TEXT 3, or TEXT 4 decoding is
enabled when TEXT is turned on (either from the Setup Menu or
directly with CC on the remote).
TIP: Set Text Mode to 1 only if text is offered in your video sys­tem.

18 SLEEP TIMER

When set to 1, the SLEEP TIMER feature may be used (but no mes­sage is displayed prior to turn-off). When set to 0, the sleep timer
is not available.

19 ALARM

Gives you the option of making the alarm function available to
the user. Set to 1, alarm function is available. Set to 0 to disable
this function. (Clock must be set in order to use the alarm.)

20 CH. OVERRIDE (Channel Override)

When set to 1, the user is allowed to select channels with either
Channel up/down or by direct keypad entry. When set to 0, only
those channels that are entered for scanning may be selected.

21. OLD OCV (On Command Video

TM

)

Set to 1 for operation with systems from On Command

Routine TV cabinet and screen cleaning

Maintenance

1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off the screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water
and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to
wipe the screen.

2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before turning it on.

1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet. (Avoid using any harsh, industrial strength vari­ety of cleaner.)

2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.

3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the Destination II PC/TV on.

Use a quality wood cleaner and polish. This will protect the TV from dirt and dust, as well as keep the cabinet
looking new.

If you leave your TV dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea to unplug the power to protect
against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you use an off-air antenna, you may also want to dis­connect it from the back of your TV before leaving.

Screen Cleaning

Extended Absence

If you unplug the TV, you may have to reset the clock using the Clock Set menu described earlier. See
page 28.

Cabinet Cleaning

Wood Cabinet

Careful and regular cleaning can extend the the useful service life of the TV. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out
the power cord before you begin any cleaning.
