of the stand to the set. Improper tightening of screw may render the set unsafe.  
If LCD TV is installed on the wall, installation should be carried out by qualified servicemen. Improperor incorrect instal  
lation may render the set unsafe.  
Disconnect mains plug when :

UNDERSTANDING THE AUTOLOCKCONTROLS  
he AutoLockfeature 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 AutoLockcan  
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.

MOVIE RATINGS  
In the AutoLocksection, 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  
features ON or OFF. Following are brief  
explanations of some terms and ratings relat-  
ed to the AutoLockfeature.  
(TV BROADCASTERS)  
(MOTION PICTURE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA)  
G: General Audience - All ages admitted.  
Most parents would find this programming  
suitable for all ages. This type of program-  
ming contains little or no violence, no  
strong language, and little or no sexual dia-  
logue or sexual situations.  
TV-Y: (All children -- This program is  
designed to be appropriate for all children.)  
Designed for a very young audience, including  
children ages 2-6. This type of programming is  
not expected to frighten younger children.  
TV-Y7: (Directed to Older Children -- This  
program is designed for children ages 7 and  
above.) It may be more appropriate for children  
who have acquired the development skills  
needed to distinguish between make-believe  
and reality. This programming may include  
mild fantasy and comic violence (FV).  
PG: Parental Guidance Suggested - This  
programming contains material that parents  
may find unsuitable for younger children. It  
may contain one or more of the following:  
Moderate violence, some sexual situations,  
infrequent coarse language, or some sugges-  
tive dialogue.  
AutoLockoffers various Blocking  
Options from which to choose:  
BLOCKING: The BLOCKING control is  
what can be thought of as the master switch  
for AutoLock. This control affects the set-  
tings you have chosen for blocking programs  
according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or  
for blocking programs that have no rating or  
are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is  
OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is  
disabled. When the BLOCKING control is  
ON, blocking will occur according to the set-  
tings you have chosen.  
TV-G: (General Audience -- Most parents  
would find this program suitable for all ages.)  
This type of programming contains little or no  
violence, no strong language, and little or no  
sexual dialogue or sexual situations.  
PG-13: Parents Strongly Cautioned - This  
programming contains material that parents  
may find unsuitable for children under the  
age of 13. It contains one or more of the fol-  
lowing: violence, sexual situations, coarse  
language, or suggestive dialogue.  
TV-PG: (Parental Guidance Suggested --  
This program contains material that parents  
may find unsuitable for younger children.) This  
type of programming contains one or more of  
the following: Moderate violence (V), some  
sexual situations (S), infrequent coarse lan-  
guage (L), or some suggestive dialogue (D).  
R: Restricted -This programming is specifi-  
cally designed for adults. Anyone under the

only with an accompanying parent or adult  
guardian. It contains one or more of the fol-  
lowing: intense violence; intense sexual situ-  
ations; strong, coarse language; or intensely  
suggestive dialogue.  
NO RATING: ALL programming with no  
content advisory data can be blocked if NO  
RATING is set to ON.  
TV-14: (Parents Strongly Cautioned -- This  
program contains some material that many  
parents would find unsuitable for children  
under 14 years of age.) This type of program-  
ming contains one or more of the following:  
intense violence (V); intense sexual situations  
(S); strong, coarse language (L); or intensely  
suggestive dialogue (D).  
Programming that has No Rating is not  
encoded with any rating information from the  
MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any pro-  
gramming could fall into this category.  
NC-17: No one under the age of 17 will be  
admitted. - This type of programming should  
be viewed by adults only. It contains graphic  
violence; explicit sex; or crude, indecent lan-  
guage.

tion of the ratings on this page.)

CLEANING AND CARE  
WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV  
PLACEMENT OF THE TV  
Screen:  
• 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  
display 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.  
DVD menuslistings of DVD disk content  
Letterbox black barsshown 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.  
• 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.  
Do not use acetone, toluene, or alcohol to clean the screen.  
Video-game images and scoreboards  
Television station logospresent a problem if they are  
bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are  
less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube
