7.Accessories
Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tri-
pod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing seri-
ous injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
product. Any mounting of the product should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Transporting Product
A product and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
9. Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the product
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
10. Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventila-
tion and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, and these openings must not
be blocked or covered. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. This product should not be placed in
a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s

(Continued from previous page)
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code (U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA 70 provides informa-
tion with regard to proper grounding of the mast and sup-
porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, loca-
tion of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
15. Lightning
For added protection for this product (receiver) during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.
16. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
17. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
19. Servicing
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servic-
ing to qualified service personnel under the following con-
ditions:
a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has
been damaged.
f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
21. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
22. Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condi-
tion.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
24. Heat
The product should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products

The Motion Picture Association of America’s Rating system has been included for those people who may be
more familiar with this rating system. (See layout on next page). There are six levels of settings. They are:
G and Above, PG and Above, PG-13 and Above, R and Above, NC-17 and Above and X. Press LEFT or
RIGHT arrows to access.
NOTE: If you choose TV-PG, all of the more restrictive ratings will be automatically blocked. This means that
the viewer will not be able to see TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA rated programming.
You may wish to use these ratings instead. They are divided into two groups, General and Children.
GENERAL:
These settings are: TV-G and Above, TV-PG and Above, TV-14 and Above and TV-MA.
CHILDREN: These settings are: TV-Y and Above and TV-Y7. Press to access.
Once again, there are six designated blocks that you can access. They are: Dialog, Language, Sex Scenes,
Violence, F Violence and No Rating. These settings allow you the option to block the program “Content”

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-digit code. The number of hours blocked can be specified. General audience and
children viewer blocks can both be programmed into the TV’s memory. Viewer ratings are specified for
both TV and the motion picture industry; both rating systems can be used. These ratings are based main-
ly on the ages of children.
Below are listed explanations of each of the blocking options and a guide to help you access and select the
Parental Control option best suited for your viewing environment.
Simply specifying one content block such as Sex
Scenes, will not automatically block another content
in the programs from appearing.
Even if you choose to leave the Aux inputs unblocked, the
ratings you specify will automatically restrict the program-
ming that appears from the video sources.
