BASIC TV CONNECTIONS CABLE TV Direct Cable Connection: Cable signal coming from Cable Company (Round 75 coaxial cable) b Y our Cable TV input into your home may be a single (75 ohm) cable or a converter box installation. In either case, the connection to the TV is very easy. Follow the steps below to connect your cable signal to your new television. If your cable signal comes directly from a round 75 coaxial cable use the following steps: 2 P AC Power Wall Outlet 1 Power Plug from back of TV 1 2 3 4 5 6 Connect the open end of the round Cable Company supplied cable to the 75 input on the TV. Screw it down finger tight. Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on. Refer to the AUTOPROGRAM feature to program all the available channels on your cable signal. Jack Panel Back of TV If your cable signal comes from a cable box, use the following steps: Connect the open end of the round Cable Company supplied cable to the cable signal IN(put) plug on the back of the Cable Box. Cable Box Connection: 3 INPUT 4 OUTPUT Jack Panel Back of Cable Box Using a separate round coaxial cable, connect one end to the OUT(put) plug on the back of the Cable Box. Connect the other end of the round coaxial cable to the 75 input on the back of the television. Screw it down finger tight. Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on. Refer to the TUNER and AUTOPROGRAM features on page 3 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to the CABLE option.

AC Power Wall Outlet A combination antenna receives normal broadcast channels (VHF 2--13 and UHF 14--69). Y our connection is easy because there is only one 75 (ohm) antenna plug on the back of your TV, and that s where the antenna goes. 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), you first need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a 300- to 75-ohm adapter. Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the 75 (ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight. Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on. Refer to the TUNER and AUTOPROGRAM features on page 3 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to the ANTENNA option. AUTOPROGRAM can be set to program all the available channels on your cable signal into the television s memory.

When programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLockTM 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 AutoLockTM 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 AutoLockTM feature.

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.
