Parental Control Overview

Overview

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. Viewer ratings are specified for both TV and the motion picture industry; both rating systems should be used for complete coverage. These ratings are based mainly on children’s ages. See the Parental Control menu and submenus example on the next page.

Things to Consider before Setting Up Parental Control View or Block options

• 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 individual channels or input sources? (Blocks the signal sent by the equipment, such as a VCR, connected to the TV Audio/Video input jacks.) Or leave unblocked, then choose allowable ratings.

• Lock the front panel controls so they cannot be used with the Front Panel Lock option.

• 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.

TV PARENTAL GUIDELINE RATING SYSTEM

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 the TV on.

1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet. (Don’t use 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 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 (Off) for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea to unplug the power cord 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.
