Connections & Setup 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 TV and / or component before you connect or disconnect any cables . Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded . Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet packed with your TV . 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 . • When 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 TV , route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV . If your antenna uses 300 + ohm twin lead cables , do not coil the cables . Also , keep the twin lead cables away from audio / video cables . Important Stand and Base Safety Information Choose the location for your TV carefully . Place the TV on a stand or base that 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 Safeguards sheet packed with your TV . Use Indirect Light Don't place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen . Use soft or indirect lighting . Connection Pictures Audio / video cables are usually bundled together . For better visibility , the connection pictures in this book show each cable separately ( audio left , audio right , and video ) . Demo Pin You must remove the Demo Pin from the G - LINK jack on the back of your TV in order for your " IV to operate properly and to connect the G - LINK cable . 6 Chapter I

Using the TV's Features Parental Controls and V - Chip The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so that children cannot see certain programs , channels , or use the front panel controls . The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve software inside your TV ( referred to as V - Chip ) which allows you to block TV programs and movies based on violence , sex , or other content you may believe children should not view . In other words , it lets you program your TV so it won't display certain programs . Once you block programs , you or other adults can unblock programs by entering a password . By default , the software inside your TV is turned " off , " so if you don't want to use this feature , you can just ignore it . How V - Chip Works When turned " on , " the V - Chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs . That code tells the software the program's age - based rating ( TV - MA , TV - 14 , etc . ) and content themes [ ( Violence ( V ) , Adult Language ( L ) , etc . ) ] . If you have blocked the rating and / or content themes that the program contains , you will receive the message , " This channel is not approved for viewing . " when you tune to that particular channel . Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes , so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age - based rating . You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of " Not Rated , " and programs that are considered " unrated " because no code has been sent by the broadcaster . The TV age - based ratings and content themes you can block are listed in the following table .
