General Description
This Audiovox product is a Color Active Matrix liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with an integral
Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) backlight system. The matrix employs a Thin Film
Transistor (TFT) as the active element. This TFT-LCD has a 20.1 inch diagonally measured
active display area with a native 800x600 pixel resolution. Each pixel is divided into red,
blue, and green sub-pixels which are arranged in vertical stripes. The color palette is
capable of more then 16.7 million colors.
This Audiovox product incorporates a tilt stand that can be removed for easy wall mounting.
The wall mounting compatibility of this product is completed by incorporating a VESA 100
wall mount standard bolt configuration. A separate VESA 100 compatible wall mount kit will
be required to properly secure the unit to the wall.
This units has a great viewing angle allowing the unit to be seen at almost any viewing angle
with minimal loss in picture quality. The high brightness and contrast ratio will make this tv a
pleasure to watch. The internal VGA ability allows you to switch between watching tv and
your personal computer with just the switch of the source.

The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not
cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause
overheating and/or shorten the life of the product.
Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can
block ventilation openings.
This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an
enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer's instructions are followed.

When relocating the product placed on a trolley, it must be moved with the utmost
care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surfaces can cause the
product to fall from the trolley.
The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them
or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product. Powersupply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
snagged by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at
doors, plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
If the power cord or the plug is damaged contact a qualified service department for
service.

can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.
For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment
due to lightning and power-line surges.
The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when

Antenna (Single 75 Ohm cable
or 300 Ohm twin-lead wire)
Connect the 75 Ohm cable from
combination VHF/UHF antenna
to the antenna jack.
OR
If your combination antenna has
a 300 Ohm twin-lead wire, use a
300-75 Ohm matching
transformer (NOT SUPPLIED).
Connect the UHF twin-lead wire
to a combiner (NOT SUPPLIED).
Connect the VHF twin-lead to a
300-75 Ohm matching
transformer (NOT SUPPLIED).

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO UNSCRAMBLED BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE
WITH SCRAMBLED PREMIUM CHANNELS
If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/
descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 Ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using
another 75 Ohm cable, connect the output of the converter/descrambler or satellite box to the antenna jack
on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set the TV/VCR to the output channel of the
converter/descrambler or satellite box (usually 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler or satellite box to
select channels.
If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and
premium channels require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter
and an A/B switch box (available from the cable company or an electronic supply store). Follow the
connections shown below. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled
channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the
converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune
scrambled channels.
Cable (CATV)/satellite connections
This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box.
Some Cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these
signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable
company.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box,
connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the
rear of the TV.
