Safety Information
To ensure reliable and safe operation of this equipment, please read carefully all the instructions
in this user guide, especially the safety information below.
Electrical safety
• The TV set should only be connected to a main power supply with voltage that matches the
label at the rear of the product.
• To prevent overload, do not share the same power supply socket with too many other
electronic components.
• Do not place any connecting wires where they may be stepped on or tripped over.
• Do not place heavy items on them, which may damage the leads.
• Hold the main plug, not the wires, when removing from a socket.
• During a thunderstorm or when not using the television for long periods, turn off the power
switch on the back of the television.
• Do not allow water or moisture to enter the TV or power adapter. Do NOT use in wet, moist
areas, such as bathrooms, steamy kitchens or near swimming pools.
• Pull the plug out immediately, and seek professional help if the main plug or cable is
damaged, liquid is spilt onto the set, if accidentally exposed to water or moisture, if
anything accidentally penetrates the ventilation slots or if the set does not work normally.
• Do not remove the safety covers. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Trying to
service the unit yourself is dangerous and may invalidate the product’s warranty. Qualified
personnel must only service this apparatus.
• To avoid battery leakage, remove exhausted batteries from the remote control, or when not
using for a long period.
• Do not break open or throw exhausted batteries on a fire.
Physical safety

of the remote control.
• To clean the TV use a soft dry cloth. Do not use solvents or petroleum based fluids.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a
third grounding prong, the wide blade, or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs.
• Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods.
• Refer all servicing to a qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus
has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has

Parental Menu Options
Parental Control
Press Enter to enter the sub-menu and then use the numeric keypad to enter the correct password: 0,0,0,0. If used, this option
feature can “block” undesirable programming from appearing on the TV. 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 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. The number of hours blocked are specified. General
audiences and children blocks should be both 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 on the ages of children.
Overview
To ensure complete coverage for all TV programs, (movies and regular TV shows) choose a rating for MPAA, from the selections
below, as well as ratings from the TV Parental Guidelines Rating Systems below, using the Age Block option for General Audiences,
and for children. In addition to those, you may wish to add additional restrictions from the content block menu, and submenus
examples below.
Things to Consider before Setting up Parental Control
Determine which rating you consider acceptable to the viewer. (For example, if you choose TV-PG, 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 source entirely? (Blocks the signal sent by the equipment, such as VCR, connected to the TV Audio/Video input jacks)
Or leave unblocked, then choose allowable ratings. Block program “Content” based on individual parameters such as: Strong Dialog,
Bad Language, Sex Scenes, Violence Scenes, or Fantasy. Violent Scenes; in Content Blk option. Select a secret password, in the Set
Password option, using the number buttons on the remote. Do not forget the password, it is the only way you can access the Parental
Control menu and change rating selections, or turn Parental Control off. Do you want the Parental Control to be active at all times? 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 Scenes, will not automatically restrict the programming that appears from the video sources.
• Even if you choose to leave the AUX inputs unblocked, the ratings you specify will automatically restrict the programming that appears from
the video sources.
• You can not disable Parental Control by disconnecting the TV from power. Block hours will be automatically reset to the original block time
setting specified if power is disconnected.
