Remote Doesn't Work
• Check batteries. Replace with AA Heavy

ies if necessary.
• Clean the remote and the remote sensor
on the TV.
• Check the TV power cord.
SmartLock
• Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture Association of America
(MPAA) or according to the Television Parental Guidelines. In order to
block any inappropriate programming, set your limits in both places (Movie
Ratings and Parental Guidelines).
• Ratings will remain blocked even after a power failure.
• You cannot access the menu when the “CHANNEL XX BLOCKED...”
message appears.
• If you enter the access code once, you may change channels without see-
ing the “CHANNEL XX BLOCKED” message again. If you turn off the TV
power, you will be asked for the access code again when you tune to a
blocked channel.
• If a power failure occurs, the default code, 0711, will be the active access
code again.
• If you connect the power cord to an AC outlet that is controlled by a wall
switch, your personal access code will be erased every time you turn off
the power at the wall switch. The default code will be the active code
again.
• To restore 0711 as your personal access code, unplug the TV’s power
cord for 10 seconds, then plug it in again.
