TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE
THIS TV TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle is intended to 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.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
Important safeguards
• Read all of these instructions.
• Save these instructions for later use.
• Unplug this television from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a dry cloth for
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
• To avoid hazards, use only attachments recommended by the television manufacturer.
• Do not use this television near water, such as near a
bathtub, sink, or swimming pool.
• Do not place this television on an unstable cart, stand,
or table. The television may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
television.
• Slots and openings in the sides, back, and bottom are
provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of
the television, and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the television on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other soft surface. This television should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register.
• This television should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase,
unless proper ventilation is provided.
• This television should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the power supplied to your home, consult your
television dealer or local power company.
• This television is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). This plug fits into the power outlet only one
way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not locate this television
where the cord may be stepped on.

is used. For best performance, we recommend the batteries should be replaced on a yearly
basis, or when the remote operation becomes erratic. Do not mix old and new batteries or
different types.
Setting up your television
To install batteries in the remote control:
1 Open the battery compartment cover.
2 Install two AAA batteries (not supplied).
3 Replace the battery compartment cover.
Battery precautions
Follow these precautions when using batteries in this remote control:
• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
• Make sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in
the battery compartment. Reversed batteries may damage the device.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together (such as alkaline and carbon-zinc) or
old batteries with fresh ones.
• If the remote is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to
prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.
• Do not try to recharge batteries that are not intended to be recharged. These batteries
can overheat and rupture (follow battery manufacturer's directions).

Connecting to other equipment
The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the
television is dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the owner's
manual provided with each component for the location of video and audio inputs and
outputs.
The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. You may need to modify them
to accommodate your particular components. The diagrams are intended to show
component video and audio interconnections only.
Selecting the video input source
Press INPUT on the remote to view a signal from another device connected to your
television, such as a VCR or DVD player. You can select ANT, AV1 (or S-Video), AV2 (on the side

Controlling closed captioning
This television has the capability to decode and display closed captioned television programs.
Closed captioning displays text on the screen for hearing-impaired viewers or translates and
displays text in another language.
Notes:
- If the program or video you select is not closed-captioned, no captions display on-screen.
- If text is not available in your viewing area, a black rectangle may appear on-screen. If
this happens, set the closed caption feature to OFF.
- When selecting closed captions, the captioning delays about ten seconds.
- If no caption signal is received, no captions appear, but the television remains in the
caption mode.
- Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during closed captioning.
This is normal with closed captioning, especially with live programs. This is because
during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow
time for editing.
- When captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute, may
be seen but may interfere with closed captions.
