Important;
This television is a table model and is designed to sit on a firm, flat, surface. Don't place the TV on
soft carpeting or similar surface because the ventilation slots on the bottom of the unit will be blocked resulting in
reduced lifetime from overheating. To assure adequate ventilation for this product, maintain a spacing of 4 inches
from the top and sides of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces.
Also, make sure the stand, cabinet, or base you use is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being
accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to
the Important Safety instructions packed separately.

Tip:
Use the channel banner to determine whether
a channel is digital or analog. A digital (ATSC
or QAM) channel displays a "D" before the
channel and may have a dash and socond
number after it (e.g., 21-1); an analog channel
(NTSC)displays an "A" before the channel and
only has one channel number (e.g., Ch 21).

How V-Chip Works for the USA and Canada
V-Chip reads the program's age-based rating (TV-MA, "1%:-14,etc.) and content themes [(Violence
(V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that tile
program contains, you will receive the message telling you that tile program is blocked from
viewing.
I_r(>adc islets are not required
to prnvide
content
themes,
so Drogr i[ns received
\_,ith 11o content
themes xxill only be blocked
if yOtl block their age-based
rating. You can also block
that have been given all Exelnl)t rating, and progratlis
that are considered
!lnrated,
