UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK™
he AutoLock™ feature receives
Tand processes data sent by
broadcasters or other program
providers that contain program con-
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.

consistent sound by reducing the
peaks and valleys that occur during
program changes or commercial

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 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
(AV 1 [or CVI], AV 2, AV 3, 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.
Remote Does Not

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.
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.

for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals
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).

bers into the televisionÕs memory circuits. Through program-
ming, the TV ÒremembersÓ only the locally available or desired
channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.
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 uses onscreen Òtext boxesÓ to show dialogue and
conversations while a TV program is in progress.
Remote Control Sensor Window ¥ The window or opening
found on the television control panel and through which infrared
remote control command signals are received.

or a cable converter). After the code has been Òidentified,Ó the
TV remote control can operate and send commands to the other
product.
Twin-lead Wire ¥ The more commonly used name for the two-
strand, 300-ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and out-
door antenna systems. In many cases, this type of antenna wire
requires an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to
the 75-ohm input terminals designed into the more recent TVs
and VCRs.
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.
Menu ¥ An onscreen listing of feature controls that are available
for you to adjust.
