cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power sup-
ply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the appliance.

he AutoLock™ feature receives
Tand processes data sent by

tent advisories. 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 fea-
ture to censor the type of program-
ming children may watch.

PIP – BASIC CONNECTIONS
icture-In-Picture (PIP) is the
Pshowing of two pictures on the
TV screen at the same time (one
main screen picture and one small
picture, or PIP). For your ease and
convenience, this TV has two sepa-
rate inputs (ANTenna A and PIP
ANTenna B) for your homeÕs Antenna
and/or Cable TV system signal.
MAIN SCREEN PICTURE
PIP PICTURE
The ANT A input is primarily for the
TVÕ s main screen picture. The PIP
ANT B input is provided as a second
dedicated source option for the TVÕs
PIP ÒwindowÓ and its feature opera-
tions. The signal connected to the
PIP ANT B input can be either a split
signal input (as described in the sec-
tion on this page) or another type of
external signal source (such as a
satellite dish system, additional home
antenna, video accessory, etc.).

lease make these simple checks
Pbefore calling for service.
Because charges for TV installa-
tion and adjustment of customer
controls are not covered under
your warranty, these tips can save
you time and money.
CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, compact disc interactive [CDI], or
TV information channel) that shows a constant nonmoving pattern on the TV screen can
cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source, the
pattern of the nonmoving portion of the game (or other source) can leave a permanent
image on the picture tube. When youÕre not using the video source, turn it OFF. Also,
regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.
No Power
No Picture
• Check the TV power cord. 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.
• Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANT A/B 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 SOURCE button on the remote to make sure the correct signal source is
selected (AV1 [or CVI], AV2, AV3, or S-VIDEO).
No Sound
• Check the VOLUME buttons.
• Check the MUTE button on the remote control.
• Check the SPEAKER onscreen control. If it is in the OFF position, sound at the set will
be eliminated.
• If you’re attempting to hook up auxiliary equipment, check the audio jack connections.
• (If applicable) Check the audio receiver for the correct operating mode.
• Check the batteries. If necessary, replace them with AA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or
Alkaline batteries.
• 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.

• Repeat channel selection.
• Add the desired channel numbers (using the CHANNEL EDIT control) into the TV’s

Cleaning and Care
¥ To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet
before cleaning.
¥ When you are cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface
(avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive). 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. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.
¥ Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they
might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish.

and stores only active broadcast stations in the TVÕs memory.
Onscreen Displays (OSD) ¥ The wording or messages generated
by the television (or VCR) to help you with specific feature con-
trols (color adjustment or programming, for example).

ming, the TV ÒremembersÓ only the locally available or desired
channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.
