UNDERSTANDING THE AUTOLOCK CONTROLS  
he AutoLock feature is an inte-  
Tgrated circuit that receives and  
processes data sent by broadcast-  
ers, or other program providers,  
that contain program content advi-  
sories. 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 feature to censor the type of  
viewing children may watch.

the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly alternate the  
use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

GLOSSARY TO TELEVISION TERMS  
Auto Picture Booster • A control that will automatically ampli- On-screen Displays (OSD) • Refers to the wording or messages  
fy “weak video signals” to a point where they are acceptable for generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with spe-  
viewing.  
cific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).  
Auto Programming • The procedure of adding or deleting  
channel numbers into the Television’s memory circuits. In this  
way the Television “remembers’’ only the locally available or  
desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel  
numbers.  
Quadra Surf • The feature that allows the programming of four  
separate Surf lists holding up to 10 channels each.  
Remote Sensor Window • A window or opening found on the  
Television control panel through which infrared remote control  
command signals are received.  
Coaxial Cable • A single solid antenna wire normally matched  
with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes)  
directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR.  
Surf • The action of scanning specific channel in a limited  
channel list.  
Status/Exit • Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel  
number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to  
clear the Television of on screen displays or information (rather  
than waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically dis-  
appear from the screen).  
Closed Caption • Broadcast standard which allows you to read  
the voice content of television programs on the TV screen.  
Designed to help the hearing impaired this feature uses on-  
screen "text boxes" to show dialogue and conversations while  
the TV program is in progress.  
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  
Televisions and VCRs.  
Front Audio/Video Inputs • Located on the front of the TV  
these connectors (phono type plug) are used for the input of  
audio and video signals. Designed for easy use with VCRs or  
cameras.

Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.
