combination antenna receives normal
broadcast channels (VHF 2-13 and
UHF 14-69). Your connection is easy
since there is only one 75Ω(ohm)
antenna plug on the back of your TV -
and that’s where the antenna goes.
1
If your antenna has a round
cable (75 ohm) on the end, then
you're ready to connect it to the
TV. Go to step 2.
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 (not supplied with
TV).
2
Push the round end of the
adapter or antenna cable onto
the 75Ωjack on the rear of the
TV. If the round end of the
antenna cable is threaded, screw
it down tight.

UNDERSTANDING THE SMARTLOCK™ CONTROLS
14
T
he SmartLock™ feature is an integrated cir-
cuit that receives and processes data sent by
broadcasters, or other program providers, that
contain program content advisories. When pro-
grammed by the viewer, a TV with SmartLock™
can respond to the content advisories and block
program content that may be found objection-
able (such as offensive language, violence, sexual
situations, etc.). This is a great feature to censor
the type of viewing children may watch.
SmartLock™ offers various BLOCK-
ING controls from which to choose:
Access Code - An Access Code must be
set to prevent children from unblocking
questionable or censored programming set
by their parents.
Channel Block - After an access code has
been programmed, you can block individual
channels including the A/V inputs.
Clear All - Allows you clear all channels
being blocked from your viewing set with
the Channel Block Control.
Block All - Allows you to block ALL chan-
nels and A/V inputs at one time.
Movie Ratings - Certain blocking options
exist which will block programming based on
ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures
Association of America.
TV Ratings - Just like the Movie Ratings,
programs can be blocked from viewing using
standard TV ratings set by TV broadcasters.
