CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

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.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long

periods of time.

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

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
ormoisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
dangerous voltage within the product's
enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.

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

ELECTRIC
SERVICE
EQUIPMENT

close to the point of cable entry as practical.

24. Product complies with DHHS rule 21 CFR

subchapter J in effect at date of manufacture.

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

2

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.
