UNDERSTANDING SMARTLOCK CONTROLS
Lock is a feature that lets the TV receive and process data sent by broadcasters or other program providers with program
content advisory. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with SmartLock can respond to the content advisory and block program
content that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This feature is useful for adults to
prevent certain types of programs from being viewed by children.
SmartLock offers various BLOCKING controls to choose from:
Access Code - An Access Code must be set to prevent children from unblocking questionable or censored programming set by their
parents.
- After an access code has been programmed, you can block individual channels including the A/V inputs.
Clear All - Lets you clear all channels being blocked from your viewing set with the Channel Block Control.
- Lets you block ALL channels including A/V inputs.
No Rating - ALL programming with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO RATING is set to ON.
Movie Ratings - Certain blocking options exist which will block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures
Association of America (MPAA).
TV Ratings - Like the Movie Ratings, programs can be blocked from viewing using standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.
Unrated - ALL unrated programs based on the Movie Ratings or Parental TV Guidelines can be blocked if UNRATED is set to ON.

GLOSSARY
4:3
4:3 is an aspect ratio of traditional squarish National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) TV screens; it stands for four
units of width for every three units of height.
Audio Video (A/V)
A term often used when discussing a channel on a TV receiver or on video equipment, which has been
especially designed to accept VCR audio-video signals. This channel automatically activates special circuitry
within the TV set to prevent picture distortion and skewing. It is also used for audio-video processors, which
handle both types of signals.
Cable Converter Box
Coaxial Cable
A device that allows your television to receive the expanded number of channels provided by broadcasters. Some of these
programs provided by the broadcast may not be free, you’ll have to pay to view them.
Coaxial cable is a copper cable used to connect cable signal coming from Cable TV Company to the TV.
Composit Video Input
Connection
An analog encoded video signal that includes vertical and horizontal synchronizing information. Since both luminance
(brightness) and chrominance (color) signals are encoded together, only a signal connection wire is needed. A composite
video jack is usually a single RCA-type.
Component Video
Input Connection
Provides the highest possible color and picture resolution on the playback of digital signal source material like DVD players.
The color difference signals (Pb, Pr) and the luminance(Y) signals are connected separately which allows for improved
color bandwidth information (not possible when using composite video or S-Video connections).
Letterbox

Letterbox refers to the image of a wide-screen picture on a standard 4:3 aspect ratio television screen, typically with block

National television system committee. The organization that developed the analog television standard currently in use in the
U.S., Canada, and Japan. Now generally used to refer to that standard. The NTSC standard combines blue, red, and green
signals modulated as an AM signal with an FM signal for audio.
S-Video
Separated video. An encoded video signal which separates the brightness from color data. S-Video can greatly improve
the picture when connecting TVs to any high quality video source such as digital broadcast satellite (DBS) and DVDs.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Check this List of Symptoms and Suggested Steps To Take before requesting Service. You may be able to solve the problem yourself.
If you face problems connecting the TV to external devices, please refer to the User Guide of the external device or call their service centers
for help. Charges for TV installation and adjustments of customer controls are not covered under your warranty.

CLEANING AND CARE
WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV Screen:
Placement of the TV
Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen for
extended periods of time. This can cause uneven picture-tube
aging.
• 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.
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, sat-
ellite channels, and others. Here are some examples of station-
ary images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter
others in your viewing):
• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perfo-
rated back cover of the set.
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 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.
• 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.
• 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
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the
• Stock-market tickers—presented at the bottom of the TV
screen
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on
or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent damage
of the cabinet finish.
• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays—bright and
shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the
TV screen.
