•If you forget your password, turn on the TV. Reduce the volume to a minimum level. Press and hold VOLUME on the front of the TV and press the 0 button on the remote control simultaneously. Select the LOCK mode, then enter a new password.

•If you want to change the password, follow steps 1-3 and select the "CHANGE PASSWORD" option then enter your new password.

•The V-Chip function is activated only on programs and tapes that have the rating signal.

•Once you block a program using the V-Chip function, the blocked program cannot be watched based on the content of the show. When the program starts, the "INPUT PASSWORD" will appear on the screen. When you want to release the V- Chip temporarily, enter the password.

If you change the channel or turn off the TV while the V-Chip function was temporarily released, the original setting will be resumed. If you return to the channel you were watching you must re-enter your password to temporarily release your V- Chip function again.

•If you are changing channels using a VCR or a cable box, while the TV remains on channel 3 or 4, the V-Chip operates differently. When you enter your password to temporarily release the block on any channel, you have completely disabled the V-Chip function for all stations. To reset the V-Chip turn your TV off and back on.

•Some cable boxes are built with a delay feature, in some cases it can take up to 10 seconds for a program to appear after the password has been input.

Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill 1/2 of full screen with a programming schedule or other information. After selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in effect until it is changed, even if the channel is changed. If the Captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in the signal, the Captions will reappear when the signal is received again. If the channels are changed, the Captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.

For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions symbol (CC).

•When activating the Closed Captioned Decoder, there will be a short delay before the Closed Captioned text appears on the screen.

•Closed Captioned text is only displayed in locations where it is available.

•If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.

•Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.

•When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere with Closed Captions.

•Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.

•If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may appear with strange

characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna. 9
