Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.
• Turn off the 1V andlor component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions
packed separately.
Protect Components from Overheating
• Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
• Don't stack components.
• If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won't
flow around other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the 1V, route all cables down the side of the back of the 1V instead
of straight down the middle of the W.
• If your antenna uses 3CO-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead
cables away from audiolvideo cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choosethe location for your TVcarefully. Placethe IV on astand or basethat is of adequate sizeand
strength to prevent the TVfrom being accidentally tipped over,pushed off, or pulled off. Thiscould
causepersonalinjury andlor damagethe W. Referto the Important Safety Instructions packed
separately.
Use Indirect Light
Don't place the TVwhere sunlight or room lighting will bedirected toward the screen.Usesoft or
indirect lighting.

Using Automatic CodeSearch
The following instructions can be used to program the
remote to operate each of your components. If you want to
stop the automatic code search without programming any of
your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the
remote turns off.
1. Turnon the component you want to operate (VCRor DVD
player)
2. Press and hold the component button you want to
program (VCR or DVD). While holding the component
button, press and hold ONoOFE until the indicator on the
remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the component. Pressand release
PLAY,then wait S seconds or until the indicator on the
remote stops flashing.
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code
to program. If, after S seconds, the component you want
to operate does not turn off, press PLAYagain to tell the
remote to search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or
you have searched through all of the codes. There are 20
total sets of codes. If the component does not turn off
after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the remote can't be
programmed to operate that component.
If the component you want to operate does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE,then wait 2 seconds. Repeat
this step until the device turns back ON.
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the
remote turns off.
Using Direct Entry
I. Turn on the component to be programmed.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section.
3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.
4. Enter the code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you
have either entered an invalid code or the button isn't programmable.
S. Release the component button.
6. Point the remote at the component. Press ONeOFF to see if the component responds to the
command. If it doesn't, try pressing the component button and then ONeOEF again.
• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the
component responds to the remote commands.
• If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search
method. If automatic code search doesn't find the code, the remote is not compatible with your
component.

Parental Controls and V-Chip
The choices in the PARENTAL CONTROLSmenu involve software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip)
which allows you to block IV programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may
believe children should not view.
Onceyou block programs,you can unblock programsby entering a password.
Bydefault, the software inside your IV is turned "off." Forinstructions to turn on V-Chip, go to pagexx.
How V-Chip Works
V-Chip readsthe program's age-based rating (IV-MA, IV-14, etc.)and content themes [(Violence(V),
Adult Language(k),etc.)]. If you have blockedthe rating andlor content themes that the program
contains, you will receivea messagethat it is not available.
Broadcastersarenot required to provide content themes,so programs receivedwith no content themes
will only be blocked if you block their age-basedrating. You can alsoblock out programsthat have been
given a rating of Not Rated,and programsthat are consideredunrated. TheIV age-basedratings and
content themes you can block follow:
USAV-Chip RatingSystem
TV-MA (Mature Audience Only) Specifically designed to be viewed by adults and may be unsuitable for
children under 17. It contains one or more of the following content themes: crude indecent language
(k), explicit sexual activity (S), or graphic violence (V).
TV-14 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) Contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable
for children under 14. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program
and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 watch unattended. This program
contains one or more of the following content themes: intensely suggestive dialogue (D), strong coarse
language (L), intense sexual situations (S), or intense violence (V).
