Lock (Parental Control) Overview

If used, this optional feature can “block” undesirable programming from appearing on the TV.

Note: Lock, is also known and referred to in the text as Parental Control. To block specific source inputs, use the AUX. Block options. Lock options are available by country: USA and Canada. Lock options are also available with TV Ratings for English and TV Ratings for French. Block individual channels if desired.

Lock/Parental Control offers the user a wide variety of options and settings that restrict or “block” the programming that can appear on the TV. Parental control allows the user the capability of defining which program rating they consider acceptable, to the younger or more sensitive viewer. It can be preset and turned either on or off by the user who specifies the secret 4-number code, the password. General audience and children viewer blocks should both be programmed into the TV’s memory. Viewer ratings are specified for both TV and the motion picture industry; both rating systems should be used, for complete coverage. The ratings are based mainly on children’s ages.

Overview

To insure complete coverage for all TV programs, (movies and regular TV shows) choose a rating for MPAA, from the selections AND choose ratings from the TV Parental Guidelines Rating System, using the Age Block option for General

Audiences, and for Children. In addition to those, you may wish to add additional restrictions from viewing certain channels. See the Lock menu, and submenus example on the following pages.

Things to Consider before Setting Up Lock (Parental Control)

• Determine which rating you consider acceptable to the viewer. (For example, if you choose TV-PG, all more restrictive ratings will be automatically blocked; the viewer will not be able to see: TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA rated programming.)

• Do you want to block the auxiliary video sources? (Blocks the signal sent by the equipment, such as a VCR, connected to the TV Audio/Video input jacks; in the Aux. Block option.) Or leave unblocked, but choose allowable ratings.

• In the TV Rating-General option, block program “Content” based on individual parameters such as: Age, Dialog,

Language, Sex, Violence, or in the TV Rating-Children option: Fantasy Violence.

• Select a secret password; in the Set Password option. Use the number keys on the remote. Don’t forget the password, it is the only way you can access the Lock menu and change rating selections, or turn Lock off.

• Do you want Lock to be active all the time? If not, you can turn it on or off; with the Lock On/Off option.

You can set different Parental Control viewing restrictions for general audiences and for children - - both can be active at the same time

.

Simply specifying one content block such as Sex, will not automatically block another content in the programs from appearing.

Even if you choose to leave the Aux source inputs unblocked, the ratings you specify will automatically restrict the programming that appears from the video sources.

You cannot disable Lock by disconnecting the TV from power.

Lock will automatically reset if power is disconnected.

Maintenance

Routine TV cabinet and screen cleaning

Careful and regular cleaning can extend the the useful service life of the TV. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out the plug before you begin any cleaning.

Screen Cleaning

1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off the screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to wipe the screen.

2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before turning the TV on.

Cabinet Cleaning

1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet. (Don’t use any harsh, industrial strength variety of cleaner.)

2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.

3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the TV on.

Wood Cabinet

Use a quality wood cleaner and polish. This will protect the TV from dirt and dust, as well as keep the cabinet looking new.

Extended Absence

If you leave your TV dormant (Off) for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea to unplug the power cord to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you use an off-air antenna, you may also want to disconnect it from the back of your TV before leaving.

206-3767

If you unplug the TV, you may have to reset the clock using the Clock Set menu described earlier. See page 32.
