When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™ 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. In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll learn how to block channels and programming that is not rated, is unrated, or has no rating. You will also find out how to turn these blocking features ON or OFF. Following are brief explanations of some terms and ratings related to the AutoLock™ feature. AutoLock™ offers various Blocking Options from which to choose: BLOCKING: The BLOCKING control is what can be thought of as the “master switch” for AutoLock™. This control affects the settings you have chosen for blocking programs according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or for blocking programs that have no rating or are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is disabled. When the BLOCKING control is ON, blocking will occur according to the settings you have chosen. 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 MPAA and TV broadcasters. (See a description of the ratings on this page.)

Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into the outlet and push the POWER button again. • Check that the outlet is not on a wall switch. • Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip, if one is being used. Remote Does Not Work Continued • Clean the remote control and the remote control sensor window on the TV. • Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into the outlet and push the POWER button again. • Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip, if one is being used. • Check to be sure the TV outlet is not on a wall switch. No Picture • Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANT 75Ω plug? • Check the TUNER MODE control for the correct tuner setting. • Try running the Auto Program feature to find all available channels. • Press the AV button on the remote to make sure the correct signal source is selected (FRONT or Current Channel). TV Displays Wrong Channel or No Channels Above 13 • Repeat channel selection. • Add the desired channel numbers (using the CHANNEL EDIT control) into the TV’s memory. • Check to be sure the TUNER MODES are set to the CABLE option and run the Auto Program feature to find all available channels. No Sound • Check the VOLUME buttons. • Check the MUTE button on the remote control. • If you’re attempting to hook up auxiliary equipment, check the audio jack connections located on the front of the TV. TV Displays white lines in letterbox when viewing a DVD disc • Some DVD Discs are encoded with as much as 30% more video information to give the best possible picture quality. With the DVD Player in the 16:9 picture format, the playback of this type of disc with extra video information, can produce a number of small white lines in the upper portion of the black letterbox area. With some of these discs, this situation is unavoidable and it does not require a service call. Remote Does Not Work • Check the batteries. If necessary, replace them with AA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries. CARE AND CLEANING WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV Screen: Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven picture-tube aging. Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen for extended periods of time, or to display the same images on screen too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be left on the picture tubes. Sources of stationary images may be DVD disks, laser disks, video games, CD-i disks, videotapes, digital television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, satellite channels, and others. Here are some examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter others in your viewing): • DVD menus—listings of DVD disk content • Letterbox black bars—shown at the top and bottom of the TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed on a TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio. • Video-game images and scoreboards • Television station logos—present a problem if they are bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube • Stock-market tickers—presented at the bottom of the TV screen • Shopping channel logos and pricing displays—bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the TV screen. PLACEMENT OF THE TV • To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot; for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance. • Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set. CLEANING • To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning. • Regularly dust the TV with a dry, nonscratching duster to keep the TV clean. • When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning. • Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a mild soap or detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces. • Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the back cover of the set. • Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish. 52 GLOSSARY OF TELEVISION TERMS Active Control • Active Control continuously measures and corrects the incoming signals to provide the best picture possible. Incredible Stereo (or Surround) • False acoustic management of the audio signal that produces a dramatic expansion of the wall of sound that surrounds the listener and heightens overall viewing pleasure. Alternate Channel • Allows you to toggle between the last two channels viewed by pressing the A/CH button on the remote control. Menu • An onscreen list of feature controls available for you to adjust or set. Audio/Video Inputs • Jacks (standard RCA), located on the back of the TV, used for external accessory devices. These jacks are designed to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound-connection options. Onscreen Displays (OSD) • The wording or messages generated by the television (or VCR) to help you with specific feature controls (color adjustment or programming, for example). Auto Programming • When activated, this feature scans for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory. Remote Control Sensor Window • The window or opening found on the television control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received. Channel Edit • The feature that allows you to add or delete channels from the list of channels stored in the TV’s memory. Second Audio Program (SAP) • An additional audio channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. A monaural soundtrack included within the recorded or video signal (usually containing a second language translation for the displayed programming). Closed Captioning • The broadcast standard feature that allows you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired, Closed Captioning shows dialogue and conversations while a TV program is in progress. Status/Exit Button • The remote control function that allows you to quickly confirm what channel number you are watching. Status/Exit can also be used to clear the television of onscreen displays or information. You can use Status/Exit rather than having to wait for the displays to “time out,” or automatically disappear from the screen. Coaxial Cable • A single solid wire normally matched with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes) directly onto a 75-ohm input found on the television or VCR. Component Video Inputs • Inputs that allow the separate reception of blue, red, and luminance signals. These inputs provide the highest possible color and picture resolution in the playback of digital signal-source material, such as the kind available from DVD players. S-Video Input • Signal input that allows direct connection of high-resolution video sources, such as a satellite receiver, DVD player, S (Super)-VHS videocassette recorder, or video games. Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity. Tint • TV function that allows you to change the general color balance between cool and warm. Adjust tint according to your personal preference. Composite Video Input • An input in which all the components required for displaying the onscreen image are combined in one signal. High-definition Television (HDTV) • High-resolution digital television. 53 INDEX Active Control™ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .29 Alternate Channel Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .45 Audio Out Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .21 AutoLock™ Controls Access Code . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .31 AutoLock™ Status Screen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .38 Blocking Programs based on Movie Ratings . . . . . . . . . . . .34 Blocking Programs based on TV Ratings . . . . . . . . . . . . . .35 Blocking Channels . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .32 Blocking Control (Activating Blocking Controls) . . . . . . . .36 Blocking based on No Ratings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .37 Clearing All Blocked Channels . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .33 Understanding the AutoLock™ Features . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .30 AutoPicture™ Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .43 AutoSound™ Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .44 AVL (Automatic Volume Leveler) Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .18 Balance Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .17 Bass Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .17 Brightness Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .14 Care and Cleaning Information . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .52 Closed Captioning . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .39 Color Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .14 Color Temperature (Color Temp) Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .14 Digital Options (Eye Fidelity™) Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .15 Dyn(amic) Contrast Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .16 Factory Service Locations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .55 Feature Highlights . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5 Freeze Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .42 Glossary of Terms . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .53 Incr.(edible) Surround Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19 Index . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .54 Jack Panel Input/Output Connections Audio Output Jacks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .13 Audio/Video Cables . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .6 AV1 Input Jacks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7 Jack Panel Input/Output Connections Continued AV2 Input Jacks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8 AV3 (Side with Headphone) Input Jacks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .9 AV4 (Component with VGA) Input Jacks . . . . . . . . . . . . . .10 CVI -
