Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

•Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords Lnto the wall outlet,

•Turn off tlle TV/WCR and/or component before you connect or disconnect an}" cables,

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the rmportant

Safeguards sheet packed with your TV/%ZC,R,

Protect Components from Overheating

•Don't block ventilation holes on an}, of the components. Arrange the components so that

aLr can cLrcolate freely,

• Don't stack components.

• When you place components Lna stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or ampl[eler, place [t 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 _e designated iack,

•If you place components above the TV/WCR, route all cables down the side of the back of

the TV/WCR Lnstead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV/%TCR.

• 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/_ZGRcarefully. Place the TV/WCR on a stand or base that is of

adequate size and strength to prevent the TV/_.zCRfrom being accidentally tipped over, pushed

off, or pulled off, This could cause personal [njuW and/or damage to the TV/AZCR,Refer to the

Important Safeguards sheet packed x_'ithyour TV/_ZGR.

Use Indirect Light

Don't place _e TV/WCR _x_lere sunlight or room lighting will be directed to_x_ard_e screen,

Use soft or indLrect lighting.

Cables Needed to Connect Components to Your TV/VCR

The pictures below show the cables needed for the connections represented in this book.

Note: AudioNideo cables (AN cables for short) are usually sold as a bundled set, but the

connection picture in this book shows each cable separately for better visibility.

Choose Your Connection

There are several ways to connect your T%%rCR. Please use the fol]o_dng chart to determine

whidl connection is best for you. Proceed to the appropriate page, and connect your T%WCR,

Parental Controls and V-Chip

The V-CHIP BLC_'K feature allows you to program your TV/WCR so that

children can't see ceres_in programs or channels.

•TV GfJYDRLI_S menu allows you to block TV programs based on age,

violence, sex, or other content you don't "a_antyour children to view.

•,hrR'4.4menu allows you to block movies and TV programs accordLng to %e

MPAA (Motion Pictures Association of America) ratings system.

You block and unblock programs by turning the V-Chip feature, on or off in %e

"_7-CHIPBLOCKmentl, and using password you create. Be sure, to remember

your password.

By default, %e software inside your TV is turned off, so i5you don't want to use

this feature,, you don't need to do anything.

How V-Chip Works

When the V-Chip software is a_ivated (or turned on), it reads a code that most

broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the sofia'are the program's

age-based rating (T_MA, T_14, etc.) and content themes [('/olence (x_, Adult

Language (L). etc )] 15you have blocked the ratLng and/or content themes that

the program contaLns, a message xv 11appear and the channel won t Le axmlable

for yield ng.

Broadcasters aren't requLred to provide content themes, so programs that aren't

tagged with a content theme can only be blocked if you block theLr age-based

rating.

The TV age-based ratings and content themes and MPAA ratLngs are listed on

the follo'adng pages.

New Rating Systems

The TV,_TCR allows you to download additional new ratLng s3,stems. ]f you

watdl a program with the new wstem, you can download the new V-Chip data

for that program.
