UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK CONTROLS  
utoLock is a feature that lets the TV receive and process data sent by broadcasters or other program providers with program content  
A
advisory. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock 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.  
AutoLock 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.  
Channel Block - 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.  
Block All
- 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 Committe (NTSC) TV screens; it stands for four  
units of width for every three units of height.  
Aspect Ratio  
Audio Video (A/V)  
The ratio between the width and height of the TV picture on the screen. In a normal TV set the aspect ratio is 4  
to 3 (4:3).  
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  
Luminance  
NTSC  
Letterbox refers to the image of a wide-screen picture on a standard 4:3 aspect ratio television screen.  
The brightness or black-and-white component of a color video signal. Determines the level of picture detail.  
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.  
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  
back cover of the set.  
• 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.

Sound is not in  
Stereo.  
This could be due to any of the following reasons:  
1. Not all transmitted broadcasts by the cable or broadcast stations are in STEREO. Try checking  
with several major network stations to be sure that the station you selected is in STEREO.  
2. When SAP is turned ON, the sound mode is automatically set to MONO.  
3. Sound mode is set to MONO. Set the sound mode to STEREO. (Refer to page 19).  
4. When using an AV input, the television will not display STEREO even though it is producing  
stereo sound.
