Cable Descriptions:

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connects signals from an antenna or a cable TV company to the antenna jack on the

back of the TV. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.

A two-way signal splitter enables you to take a single antenna or cable TV signal and supply it to two differ-

ent inputs.

A 300- to 75-ohm twin-lead adapter accepts the antenna cables (called twin-lead wires) from an antenna,

allowing you to connect the antenna signal to the TV.

Video and audio cables with standard RCA (phono) connectors connect the video and audio jacks of acces-

sory devices such as VCRs and DVD players to the jacks on the TV.

Yellow - Video

These connectors are usually color coded. The jacks on your TV are also color coded to match the colors of

the connectors. Yellow for video (composite) and Red and White for the right and left audio channels. The

video cables used to connect component video or RGB (high-resolution) jacks are color coded red, green, and

blue.

UNDERSTANDING THE AUTOLOCK™ FEATURE

he AutoLock™ feature receives and

Tprocesses data sent by broadcasters or

other program providers that contain pro-

gram content advisories. When programmed

by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™ can

respond to the content advisories and block

program content that may be found objection-

able (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

utoSound™ allows you to select from

Athree factory-set controls and a personal

control that you set according to your own

preferences through the onscreen Sound

menu. The three factory-set controls (Voice,

Music, and Theatre) enable you to tailor the

TV sound so as to enhance the particular pro-

gram you are watching. Follow these steps to

select any of the options.

Press the AUTO SOUND button on

the remote control. The current

AutoSound^TMsetting will appear in the

middle of the screen.

Press the AUTO SOUND button

repeatedly to toggle among the four

settings: PERSONAL, VOICE,

MUSIC, or THEATRE.

Note: Only the PERSONAL control can be

changed by the viewer. This changes the set-

tings in the main on-screen menu's sound con-

trols.

THEATRE - Preset sound options for watch-

ing movies.

MUSIC - Preset sound options for musical

VOL

programming where there is little dialogue.

VOICE - Preset sound options for program-

ming where heavy dialogue is present.

USING THE QUADRA SURF BUTTONS

“list” or series of previously viewed

Achannels can be selected with the Quadra

SURF (colored) buttons on your remote con-

trol. With this feature you can easily switch

between different TV programs that currently

interest you. The Quadra Surf control allows

you set up four different personal Surf lists

using the colored buttons (on the remote con-

trol), each holding up to ten channels in its

quick viewing“list.”

Press the CHANNEL (+) or (–) but-

tons (or the NUMBER buttons) to select

a channel to add to one of the SURF

lists.

Press the SMILEY

button on the

remote control to ADD the channel to

one of the SURF lists.

Press the corresponding COLORED

(Red, Green, Yellow or Blue) button to

add the channel to that button’s Surf list.

(Up to ten channels per button can be

stored.)

VOL

Repeat steps 1 through 3 to add additional

channels (up to 10) to each of the the SURF

lists.

To remove a channel from one of the SURF

lists;

Press the COLORED Quadra Surf

button until the desired channel

appears. The screen will display the

channel number with a colored

“Smiley” face to indicate the Colored

button it relates to.

Press the A/CH

Repeat steps 4-6 to remove other channels

from Surf lists.

button toggle

between the pres-

ent channel and

the last previously

viewed channel.

USING THE QUADRA SURF BUTTONS

he Quadra Surf buttons on your remote

Tcontrol allow you to store up to 10 chan-

nels per button (40 total). This is a great fea-

ture if you want to store all your favorite

Sports channels, Movie channels, or News

channels in one surf list. Family members can

have there own favorite list of channels. You

can even program the AV Input channels (AV,

and CVI) for each button making them a

“source” button for your external accessory

devices.

Assuming channels have now been added to

the four Quadra Surf lists (the four colored

buttons on the remote, see the previous page),

let’s review how the feature works.

Press one of the pre-programmed

COLORED buttons on the remote

(Red, Green, Yellow or Blue). The

screen will display a smiley face with the

first programmed channel for that surf

list.

While the colored “smiley” face still

appears on the screen, press the same

COLORED button on the remote to

tune the second channel programmed for

that specific surf list.

VOL

Repeatedly pressing the same COL-

ORED button while the “smiley” face

appears will tune all the programmed

channels for that specific surf list. After

the last channel is tuned, pressing the

COLORED button again will return you

to the first channel in the list.

If the “smiley” face disappears from the

screen and the same COLORED button

is pressed, the surf channels will be dis-

played starting with the FIRST pro-

grammed channel again.

Repeat steps 1-3 for the other three

COLORED buttons (Surf lists) if

desired.

Any time the “smiley” face appears

with the channel number, pressing the

“frownie” face button will allow you

to remove it from the list (see the pre-

vious page for more details).

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING Concerning Stationary Images 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.

Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen

for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven

picture-tube aging.

• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforated

back cover of the set.

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):

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.

• 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.
