plied cable to the 75Π input on the TV. Screw it down fingertight.
2 Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on.Refer to the AUTOPROGRAM feature to program all theavailable channels on your cable signal.
If your cable signal comes from a cable box, use the following
steps:
3 Connect the open end of the round Cable Company sup-
plied cable to the cable signal IN(put) plug on the back ofthe Cable Box.
4 Using a separate round coaxial cable, connect one end to the
OUT(put) plug on the back of the Cable Box.

easy because there is only one 75Π (ohm) antenna plug onthe back of your TV, and that s where the antenna goes.
1 If your antenna has a round cable (75 ohm) on the end,then you’re ready to connect it to the TV.If your antenna has flat, twin-lead wire (300 ohm), youfirst need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a300- to 75-ohm adapter.
2 Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the75Π (ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end ofthe antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.
3 Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TVon. Refer to the TUNER and AUTOPROGRAM features onpage 3 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to theANTENNA option. AUTOPROGRAM can be set to programall the available channels on your cable signal into the televi-sion s memory.

T he AutoLock™ feature receives andprocesses data sent by broadcasters or
other program providers that contain pro-gram content advisories. When programmedby the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™ canrespond to the content advisories and blockprogram content that may be found objection-able (such as offensive language, violence,sexual situations, etc.). This is a great featureto censor the type of programming childrenmay watch.
In the AutoLock™ section, you ll learn howto block channels and programming that isnot rated, is unrated, or has no rating. Youwill also find out how to turn these blockingfeatures ON or OFF. Following are briefexplanations of some terms and ratings relat-ed to the AutoLock™ feature.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
No Power• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds,
then reinsert the plug into the outlet and push the POWERbutton again.
• Check that the outlet is not on a wall switch. • Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip, if one is
being used.

ting.• Try running the Auto Program feature to find all available

dow on the TV.• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds,
then reinsert the plug into the outlet and push the POWERbutton again.
• Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip, if one isbeing used.
• Check to be sure the TV outlet is not on a wall switch.• Be sure that the remote is in the correct operating mode.• Be sure the remote is pointed at the Remote Sensor Window
on the TV. See page 1 of the Quick Use Guide for details.

EDIT control) into the TV’s memory.• Check to be sure the TUNER MODES are set to the CABLE
option and run the Auto Program feature to find all availablechannels.

CLEANING AND CARE
WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TVScreen: Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screenfor extended periods of time. This can cause unevendisplay aging.Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of picturesthat contain constantly moving and changing images that fill thescreen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen forextended periods of time, or to display the same images onscreen too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be lefton the picture tubes. Sources of stationary images may be DVDdisks, laser disks, video games, CD-i disks, videotapes, digitaltelevision boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, satellitechannels, and others. Here are some examples of stationaryimages (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounterothers in your viewing):• 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 aTV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio.
• Video-game images and scoreboards• Television station logos—present a problem if they are
bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics areless likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube
• Stock-market tickers—presented at the bottom of the TVscreen
• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays—brightand shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location onthe TV screen.
PLACEMENT OF THE TV• To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and
increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV wheretemperatures can become excessively hot; for example, indirect sunlight or near a heating appliance.
• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforatedback cover of the set.

• To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unpluggedfrom the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, nonscratching duster tokeep the TV clean.
• When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage thescreen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anythingabrasive. Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the frontscreen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even,easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or spongedampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a mild soapor detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.Do not use acetone, toluene, or alcohol to clean the screen.
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the backcover of the set.
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals onor near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marringof the cabinet finish.
