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.
An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can collide with such power lines
or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power
lines or circuits, as contact with them might
be fatal.

Power Cord
• The figure above shows the power cord connection. The shape of the physical power cord plug
and socket will differ depending on the location where you purchased the display.
• This product must be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label (AC 100~240V 50/60 Hz).
• If the display will not be used for a long period of time, it should be unplugged from the wall
outlet.
English
Connecting the Antenna
Connecting CATV
Your DV3250 LCD Display has an internal 75 ohm coaxial cable connector, so antennal hook-up
is very easy.When connecting a 75-ohm coaxial cable, secure it firmly to the antenna connector.
Some cable TV companies provide "pay per view" programming. Since the signal for these paid
channels is encoded, most cable TV companies provide their own tuners/ decoders. You must
install a tuner/ decoder to be able to view locked encoded programming. If you require special
instructions on how to install cable service, please contact your cable TV provider. The tuner/
decoder provided by your cable TV company can be used according to the following
instructions.
You must have an RF switch with two inputs (A and B) (not supplied).
The "A" input on the RF switch (not supplied) allows you to use the display's CH/ buttons
to view unlocked channels. The "B" input on the RF switch (not supplied) allows you to use the
channel selection button on your cable box to view locked encoded programming via the tuner/
decoder.

English
Antenna
The antenna equipment has far more effect on reception for color TVs than on black and white
models. We suggest you use a good-quality outdoor antenna. Following are simple explanations
for the connection of various types of antennas.
1. Generally speaking, 75 ohm systems have a
round cable with an F-shaped connector
which requires no tools. Attach the cable
directly to the input (not included).
2. 300 ohm systems have a flat "dual lead" type
cable. A 300-75 ohm transformer may be
used to attach the antenna to a 75 ohm input
(not included).
Installation of an Outdoor Antenna
For best reception it is recommended that an Outdoor antenna be used.
A: Use a combination VHF/UHF outdoor antenna.
B: Use separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas.
Connect the lead from the outdoor antenna to the antenna input on the rear of the display.
Connecting Audio and Video Signal Sources
• Before connecting any component, please familiarise yourself with the location and type of
each input.
• If incorrect connections are made, picture or color quality may be adversely affected. Please
ensure that all connectors are firmly seated.
• Before connecting external devices, turn off the power to the display for safety.
