Example of Antenna Grounding
as per NEC - National Electric Code

f Cable TV signal into your home is a
single cable (75 ohm) the connection

to the TV is easy.

Connect the Cable TV cable
directly to the 75

Ω jack on the

TV.

Rear of TV

combination antenna receives normal
broadcast channels (VHF 2-13 and

UHF 14-69). Your connection is easy
since there is only one 75

Ω (ohm)

antenna plug on the back of your TV -
and that’s where the antenna goes.

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).

Push the round end of the
adapter or antenna cable onto
the 75

Ω jack on the rear of the

TV. If the round end of the
antenna cable is threaded, screw
it down tight.

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.
