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-

TIPS IF SOMETHING ISN'T WORKING  
lease make these simple  
Pchecks before calling for ser-  
vice. These tips can save you time  
and money since charges for TV  
installation and adjustment of  
customer controls are not cov-  
ered under your warranty.  
CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or  
TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen,  
can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source  
the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image  
permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF.  
Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.  
• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into  
outlet and push POWER button again.  
• Check that outlet is not on a wall switch. Be sure fuse is not blown on AC Power strip.  
No Power  
No Picture  
• Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's 75plug?  
• Check the TUNER control for CABLE or ANTENNA setting.  
• Check Audio/Video Input jack connections if using a VCR or other external device.  
• Check the VOLUME buttons.  
• Check the MUTE button on the remote control.

Cleaning and Care  
• To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.  
• When cleaning the TV screen 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.
