Positioning the appliance

1. Do not place your appliance on an unstable cart, stand, shelf or table.
Serious injury to an individual, and damage to the appliance, may result
if it should fall. Your salesperson can recommend approved carts and
stands or shelf and wall mounting instructions. An appli­ance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

2. Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the appliance and
to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be covered with a cloth or other
material, and the bottom openings should not be blocked by placing the
unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This appliance should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This appliance
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless
proper ventilation is provided.

3. Do not expose the appliance to rain or use near water . . . for example,
near a bathtub, swimming pool, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, etc.

Hooking Up Outdoor Antenna

LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR YOUR ANTENNA AND SET AS PER
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS.

4. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical
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 unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.

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
fall into 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.

Plug in the power cord

5. This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power
company. This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current
line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit
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 this polarized plug.
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

6. Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.

Cleaning

7. Before cleaning, unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Do not apply liquid clean­ers or aerosol cleaners directly to the unit. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.

Service & Repair

8. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

A. If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the appliance.
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the appliance has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
E. If the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance.
F. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered in the
operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the appliance to normal operation.

9. Upon completion of any service or repair, request the service
technician’s assurance that only Factory Authorized Replacement Parts
that have the same characteristics as the original parts were used, and
that routine safety checks have been performed to determine that the
appliance is in safe operating condition. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.

10. Never add accessories that have not been specifically designed for use
with this appliance as they may cause hazards.

11. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the set 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 set
due to lightning or power line surges.

12. Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product.

Operating Tips

– The VCR and DVD modes are preprogrammed with

Fisher codes.

– The associated mode key lights when you press any

operating key (channel, volume, etc.) to indicate which
equipment is being controlled.

– Some manufacturers use different types of remote con-

trols. If your brand has several codes listed, program the
unit with different codes until you find the correct one.
Larger numbers may represent newer models.

– There may be VCRs, DVDs, Cable Boxes, and

Satellite Receivers that this remote control cannot
operate. Some models may operate only partially.

– This remote control uses an invisible (infrared) light

beam to operate the equipment. Objects between the
equipment and the remote control can block this light
beam. Therefore, the remote control must be pointed
directly at the equipment you want to operate.

– This remote control cannot add features to your equip-

ment. They must have been originally provided by your
equipment’s manufacturer.

– If the remote control fails to operate any of your equip-

ment replace the batteries. Be sure batteries are installed
correctly.

The keys on this remote control operate functions similar to those of your original remote controls. Refer to your original owner’s manuals
for specific key and features operation.

ABOUT MPAA AND TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES

MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines are rating systems that provide advance cautionary
information to parents about the content of movie and television programming.

MPAA is a voluntary rating system used by the movie industry. TV Parental Guidelines are
modeled after the MPAA ratings and were designed to be simple to use, easy to understand,
and easy to find.

TV Parental Guidelines contain both age-based and content-based information. This gives
parents discretionary ways of choosing appropriate material for their children to view.

Content ratings are represented by the initials D (Suggestive Dialog), L (Adult Language),
S (Sexual Situations), V (Violence), and FV (Fantasy Violence). When programming
contains any or all of these conditions, these letters become part of the icon that is
displayed on the TV screen.

A rating icon will generally appear in the upper left hand corner of the TV screen for fifteen
seconds at the beginning of a program and should be repeated at the beginning of the second
hour of a long program. It may also appear when returning from commercials. There may be
other instances when these icons will be displayed as well. Parents are encouraged to
become familiar with these icons and their meanings.

WHERE CAN I FIND ADVANCE NOTICE OF PROGRAM RATING

Publishers of programming guides have been asked to include these ratings along with other
information they publish. You can expect to find this information in newspapers,
magazines, and on-screen listings and guides.

TYPES OF PROGRAMS TO RECEIVE RATING

The TV Parental Guidelines will apply to various types of TV programming, including:
specials, mini-series, and movies. Sports and news shows do not currently carry guidelines.

V-GUIDE INFORMATION

OF AMERICA’S FCC V-CHIP REGULATIONS. THEREFORE, IT MAY NOT

This FISHER television is equipped with an electronic V-Chip to interpret
MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines rating codes. When these codes are
detected, the TV will automatically display or block the program, depending
upon choices you make when setting up the V-Guide system.
