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 programming children may watch. In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll learn how to block channels and programming that is not rated, is unrated, or has no rating. You will also find out how to turn these blocking features ON or OFF. Following are brief explanations of some terms and ratings related to the AutoLock™ feature. AutoLock™ offers various Blocking Options from which to choose: BLOCKING: The BLOCKING control is what can be thought of as the “master switch” for AutoLock™. This control affects the settings you have chosen for blocking programs according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or for blocking programs that have no rating or are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is disabled. When the BLOCKING control is ON, blocking will occur according to the settings you have chosen. NO RATING: ALL programming with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO RATING is set to ON. Programming that has No Rating is not encoded with any rating information from the MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any programming could fall into this category. You also can block individual channels or block programming based on ratings of the MPAA and TV broadcasters. (See a description of the ratings on this page.)

Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven display aging. 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, digita television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, satellite channels, and others. Here are some examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter others 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 a TV 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 are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube • Stock-market tickers – presented at the bottom of the TV screen • Shopping channel logos and pricing displays – bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the TV screen. 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. • 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. Do not use acetone, toluene, or alcohol to clean the screen. • Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the back cover of the set. • Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish. 35 SD2_ME5_DFU_34755.indd 35 2005-09-15 3:58:42 PM INDEX Cleaning and Care
