DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION-These servicing instructions are for use by qualified

service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

Before using the unit, be sure to read all operating instructions carefully. Please note that these are general precautions and may not pertain to your particular unit. For example, this unit may not have the capability to be connected to an outdoor antenna.

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Important Safety Instructions

15. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Apparatus shall no t be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as

16.

vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

17. If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to

provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge product, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge product, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for grounding electrodes.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has

18.

been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

19. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts

specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

20. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform

safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

21. The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

22. Unplug the product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under

the following conditions: a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product. c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the product does not operate normally after installation by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation. e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

23. This reminder is provided to call the Cable

system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as

Replace the compartment cover.

Notes:

Do not try to recharge batteries they are not rechargeable. Use only the size and type of batteries specified. Do not mix different types of batteries together or old batteries with fresh ones. When the remote control will not be used for a long period of time or when the batteries are worn out, remove the batteries. Do not throw the batteries into a fire. Do not drop, dampen or disassemble the remote control. Dispose of used batteries in the specified manner.

Notes:

Aim the remote control at the remote sensor and press control buttons to operate. Operate the remote control within 30 angle on either side of the remote sensor, up to a distance of approx. 5 meters or 16 feet. When there is an obstacle between the TV/DVD and the transmitter, the transmitter may not operate. When direct sunlight, and incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp or any other strong light shines on the REMOTE SENSOR of the TV/DVD, the operation of the remote may be unstable.

INSTALL the unit in a room where direct light will not fall upon the screen. Tip: Total darkness or a reflection on the picture screen may cause

Antenna connections

OUTDOOR VHF/UHF ANTENNA CONNECTION (ANTENNA NOT INCLUDED)

Follow the instructions for the type of antenna system you intend to use. If using Cable or satellite, see the next page.

Combination VHF/UHF 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.

Separate VHF/UHF Antennas

Connect the 75 ohm cable from the VHF antenna and the UHF antenna twin-lead wire to a combiner (NOT SUPPLIED). Attach the combiner to the antenna jack. NOTE: If your VHF antenna has a twin-lead wire use a 300-75 ohm matching transformer, then connect the transformer to the combiner.

Installation (continued)

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 descrambling device and 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 DVD Combo.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE

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 DVD Combo. Follow the connections shown below. Set the DVD Combo 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.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO UNSCRAMBLED BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE

WITH SCRAMBLED PREMIUM 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 DVD Combo. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your DVD Combo to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

Turning on

Insert the AC plug (with the 2 blades) into a

conveniently located AC outlet having 120V, 60Hz.

If the red indicator lights up and no picture appears, then the TV set is in STANDBY mode. Now please follow step 2.

Notes:

The AC plug supplied with the unit is polarized to help minimize the possibility of electric shock. If the AC plug does not fit into a non-polarized AC outlet, do not file or cut the wide blade. It is the user's responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.

To prevent electric shock, do not use a (polarized) plug with an extension cord receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted.

In STANDBY mode, press the power button on the

TV set or on the remote controller to turn on the unit.

Notes:

In STANDBY mode, you can also turn on the set by pressing the TV/AV, Channel up/down or Volume up/down button on the set's panel. If there is no input signal, then a blue background appears.
