or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is  
used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus  
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.  
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or  
when unused for long periods of time.  
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord  
or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or  
objects have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus  
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not  
operate normally, or has been dropped.  
15. This product may contain lead and mercury.  
Disposal of these materials may be regulated due  
to environmental considerations. For disposal or  
recycling information, please contact your local

MOVIE RATINGS Continued  
he AutoLock™ feature is an integrat-  
Ted circuit that receives and processes  
data sent by broadcasters, or other pro-  
gram providers, that contain program  
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  
objectionable (such as offensive lan-  
guage, violence, sexual situations, etc.).  
This is a great feature to censor the type  
of viewing children may watch.  
R: Restricted - This is programming is  
specifically designed for adults. Anyone  
under the age of 17 should only view this  
programming with an accompanying par-  
ent or adult guardian.

be admitted. - This type of programming  
should be viewed by adults only.  
X: Adults Only - This type of program-  
ming contains one or more of the follow-  
ing: very graphic violence, very graphic  
and explicit or indecent sexual acts, very  
coarse and intensely suggestive language.  
AutoLock™ offers various BLOCK-  
ING controls from which to choose:  
Access Code - An Access Code must be  
set to prevent children from unblocking  
questionable or censored programming  
set by their parents.  
Channel Block - After an access code  
has been programmed, you can block  
individual channels including the A/V  
inputs.  
TV RATINGS  
TV-Y -- Designed for a very young audi-  
ence, including children ages 2-6.

dren age 7 and above who have acquired

guish between make-believe and reality.

type of programming contains little or no  
violence, no strong language, and little or  
no sexual dialogue or situations.

CARE AND CLEANING  
36  
WARNING Concerning Stationary  
Images on the TV Screen:  
Do not leave stationary or letterbox  
images on screen for extended peri-  
ods of time. This can cause uneven  
picture-tube aging.  
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 exam-  
ple, in direct sunlight or near a  
heating appliance.  
• 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 pic-  
ture 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 clean-  
ing.  
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces  
with a clean cloth or sponge damp-  
ened in a solution of cool, clear  
water and a mild soap or detergent.  
Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the  
wiped surfaces.  
• 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 score-  
boards  
• Occasionally vacuum the ventila-  
tion 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.  
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 pric-  
ing displays—bright and shown  
constantly or repeatedly in the  
same location on the TV screen.
