Move the TV and cart with care.Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make theunit and cart unsteady and likely to overturn.

• Provide ventilation for the TV receiver. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, anddo not place the TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it neara radiator or heat register. If you place the TV receiver on a rack or bookcase, ensure thatthere is adequate ventilation and that you’ve followed the manufacturer’s instructions formounting.

• Operate your TV receiver only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealeror local power company.

• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this TV is equipped with a polarizedalternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into thepower outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, tryreversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.

• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won’t be walked onor pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, con-venience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

• Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a light-ning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent dam-age to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.

• Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity ofoverhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into suchpower lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to keepfrom touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.

CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION 2.2

Connecting Cable TV

You can connect different cable systems to your TV, including cable without a cable box,and cable with a cable box that descrambles some or all channels.

Cable without a Cable Box

If you want to connect cable, and you do not need to use a cable box:

Plug the incoming cableinto the ANT-A or ANT-Bantenna terminal on rearof the TV.

2Plug the combiner intothe ANT-A or ANT-B ter-minal on the rear panel.


Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads

Plug the antenna leadinto the ANT-A or ANT-Bterminal on the rearpanel.

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas

If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combinethe two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires aan optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).

1Connect both antennaleads to the combiner.



Cable with a Cable box that Descrambles All Channels

1Find the cable that isconnected to theANTENNA OUT terminalon your cable box. Thisterminal might belabeled “ANT OUT”,“VHF OUT”, or simply,“OUT”.

2Connect the other end ofthis cable to the ANT-Aor ANT-B terminal on therear of the TV.

▼ This terminal might be labeled“ANT IN,” “VHF IN,” or simply,“IN.”

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels

If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow theinstructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths ofcoaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)

1Find and disconnect thecable that is connectedto the ANTENNA IN ter-minal on your cable box.

2Connect this cable to atwo-way splitter.

3Connect a coaxial cablebetween an OUTPUT ter-minal on the splitter andthe IN terminal on thecable box.



4Connect a coaxial cablebetween the ANTENNAOUT terminal on thecable box and the B–INterminal on the A/Bswitch.

5Connect another cablebetween the other OUTterminal on the splitterand the A–IN terminal onthe RF (A/B) switch.

6Connect the last coaxialcable between the OUTterminal on the RF (A/B)switch and the VHF/UHFterminal on the rear ofthe TV.

After you’ve made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal view-ing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set theA/B switch to “B,” you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel, which isusually channel 3 or 4.)



Connecting a VCR

These instructions assume that you have already connected your TV to an antenna or acable TV system (according to the instructions on pages 2.1-2.3). Skip step 1 if you havenot yet connected to an antenna or a cable system.

1Connect a coaxial cable between theANTENNA OUT terminal on the VCR and theantenna terminal on the TV.

A coaxial cable is usually included with aVCR. (If not, check your local electronicsstore).

2Connect a set of audio cables between theAUDIO OUT jacks on the VCR and theAUDIO jacks on the TV.

If you have a mono VCR, connect L(mono)to VCR audio out using only one audiocable.

3Connect a video cable between the VIDEOOUT jack on the VCR and the VIDEO jack onthe TV.

If you have a S-VHS VCR, use the S-Videoconnections and remove the video cable.Do not connect the video cable and the S-Video cable to video 1 simultaneously.

The “Enter Pin” screen willappear. Enter your 4-digitPIN number.

3The “V-Chip Mode” screenwill appear, and “V-ChipLock” will be highlighted.

To enable the V-Chip feature,move the joystick to the rightso that the “V-Chip Lock”field is Yes. (Move the joy-stick to the left or right willalternate between Yes andNo.)


Move the joystick downto select “FUNCTION,”then press the joystickto enter.



2Move the joystick down toselect “V-Chip,” thenpress the joystick to enter.

The “Enter Pin” screenwill appear. Enter your 4-digit PIN number.

3The “V-chip mode” screenwill appear. Move the joystick down tohighlight the field for “TVGuidelines,” press the joy-stick to enter.

4The “TV guidelines” screenwill appear. Move the joystickup or down to highlight one ofthe six age-based categories:

TV-Y Young childrenTV-Y7 Children 7 and over-----------------------------------TV-G General audienceTV-PG Parental guidanceTV-14 Viewers 14 and overTV-MA Mature audience

5At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is highlighted.

Move the joystick to the right: Depending on your existing setup, a letter “U” or “B” will start blinking.(U= Unblocked, B= Blocked)

While the “U” or ”B” is blinking, move the joystick up or down to block or unblock the category.

Move the joystick to the right to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be highlighted, and no letters will blink. To select a different TV-Rating, move the joystick up or down and then repeat the process.

Note 1: The TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA have additional options. See the next step to change any of the fol-lowing sub-ratings:

FV: Fantasy violenceD: DialogL: LS: Sexual situationV: Violence

Note 2: The V-Chip will automatically block certain categories that are “more restrictive.” For example, if you block“TV-Y” category, then TV-Y7 will automatically be blocked. Similarly, if you block the TV-G category, then all thecategories in the “young adult” group will be blocked (TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA). The sub-ratings (D, L, S, V)work together similarly. (See next section.)

Note: These categories consist oftwo separate groups: TV-Y and TV-Y7(young children through age 7), andTV-G through TV-MA (everybodyelse). The TV-Y and TV-Y7 categoriesare colored blue.

The restrictions for these two groupswork independently: If a householdincludes very young children as wellas young adults, the TV guidelinesmust be set up separately for each agegroup. (See next step.)

▼



How to Set up Restrictions using the MPAA Ratings: G, PG, PG-13,R, NC-17, X

The MPAA rating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system, and itsmain application is for movies. (Eventually, movie videocassettes will be encoded with MPAA rat-ings.) When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically block any programs that are codedwith objectionable ratings (either MPAA or TV-Ratings).

6How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.

First, highlight one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 or TV-MA (See Step 4, on previous page).

Next, while the TV-Rating is highlighted, repeatedly move the joystick to the right. This will cycle through the avail-able sub-ratings (FV,L, S, D or V).

A blinking letter (“U” or “B”) will be displayed for each sub-rating. While the “U” or “B” is blinking, move the joy-stick up or down to change the sub-rating.

Move the joystick to the right to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be highlighted, and no letters will blink. To select a different TV-Rating, move the joystick up or down and then repeat the process.

Note: The V-chip will automatically block certain categories that are “More restrictive”. For example, if you block“L” sub-rating in TV-PG, then the “L” sub-ratings in TV-14 and TV-MA will automatically be blocked.

7Press the Menu button to clear all the screens. (Or proceed to the next section, and set up additional restrictionsbased on the MPAA codes).



2Move the joystick down toselect “V-Chip,” then pressthe joystick to enter.

The “Enter Pin” screen willappear. Enter your 4-digitPIN number.



How to Reset the TV after the V-Chip
