specific reason, such as the possibility of the
loss of an authorization code for a CATV
converter, is not intended to be unplugged by
the user for cleaning or any other purpose,
may exclude the reference to unplugging
your TV in the cleaning description otherwise
required in this instruction.
•Attachments–Do not use attachments not

•Accessories–Do not place your TV on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
Your TV may fall, causing serious injury to
someone, and serious damage to your TV.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table recommended by the manufacturer, or
sold with your TV.
If you mount your TV, follow
the manufacturer's
instructions and use a
mounting accessor y
recommended by the
manufacturer. Move a TV and
cart combination with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause your TV and cart
combination to overturn.
•Ventilation–Slots and openings in the
cabinet and the back or bottom are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of your TV and to protect it from
overheating. Do not block openings. Do not
place your TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. Your TV should never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat
register. Do not place your TV in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions have been
adhered to.
•Power Sources–Use only 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 TV dealer or local
power company . F or TVs intended to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to
the operating instructions.
•Grounding or P olarization–Your TV 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 the polarized plug.
•Power -cord protection–Route power-supply
cords 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 your TV.
•Outdoor Antenna grounding–If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to your
TV, be sure the antenna or cable 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 No. 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.

•Lightning–For added protection for your TV
receiver 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 or cable system. This
will prevent damage to your TV due to
lightning and power-line surges.
•Power Lines–An outside antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light of
power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, do not touch power
lines or circuits because contact with them
might be fatal.
•Overloading–Do not overload wall outlets
and extension cords as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.
•Object and Liquid Entry–Never push
objects of any kind into your TV through
openings because 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 your TV.
•Servicing–Do not attempt to service your TV
yourself because opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
•Damage Requiring Service–Unplug your
TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified serv i ce pers onn el unde r the
following conditions:
•When the power supply cord or plug is
damaged or frayed.
•If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into your TV.
•If your TV has been exposed to rain or
water.

•If your TV does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions, adjust
only those controls that are covered by
the operating instructions, because
improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore your TV to its normal
operation.
•If your TV has been dropped or damaged
in any way.
•When your TV exhibits a distinct change
in performance, this indicates a need for
service.
•Replacement Parts–When replacement
parts are required, be sure the service
technician uses replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer that have the same
characteristic s as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, injury to persons or other
hazards.
•Safety Check–Upon completion of any
service or repairs to your TV, ask the service
technician to perform routine safety checks to
determine that your TV is in correct operating
condition.
•Heat–Place your TV away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
Preparing to set up your TV
Unpacking and setup
Your TV carton should contain:
•30" Wide Flat Digital TV
•User Guide
•Remote control unit
If you need to replace these accessories, call
our help line mentioned in the Warranty section
of this guide.
Depending on your antenna system, you may
need different types of combiners (mixers) or
separators (splitters). C onta ct your local
electronics store for these items.
Carefully remove all the components from the
carton and verify that you have all the necessary
components before you dispose of the carton.
•Remove all packing materials from the
individual components.
•Do not remove any labels or stickers on the
back panel of your TV.
•Place your TV in the location you want. Your
TV is designed to be used on a level, stable,
flat surface, such as a table, desk, shelf, or
stand convenient to a power outlet, out of
direct sunlight, and away from sources of
excess heat, dust, moisture, or vibration.
•Unwind the AC power cord on the back of
your TV and extend the cord to its full length.
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV 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 sho uld be connected to the grounding
system of the building as close to the point of cabl e entry as
practical.
A NOTE ABOUT RECYCLING: Batteries should never be
thrown away or incinerated but disposed of in accordance
with your local regulations concerning chemical wastes.
CAUTION:
NOT USE THIS POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION
CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE
BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE
EXPOSURE
FCC WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance with the
FCC Rules could void the user's authority to operate this
equipment.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO
.
Power source
Use the polarized AC line cord provided for
operation on AC power. Insert the AC cord plug
into a standard 120 V 60 Hz polarized AC outlet.
If you cause a static discharge when touching
your TV and your TV fails to function, unplug
your TV from the AC outlet and plug it back in.
Your TV should return to normal operation.
Warning
• The system uses a polarized AC plug with
one wide blade and one narrow blade. The
plug will only fit into matchin g polarized
power outlets. This is a safety feature to
reduce the possibility of electric shock. If
the plug will not fit in your power outlets,
you probably have outdated,
non-polarized o utlets which should be
changed by a qualified, licensed
electrician. Do not file the wide blade on
the plug or use an adapter to ma ke the
plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the
safety feature and could expose you to
electric shock.
• Never connect the AC cord plug to other
than the specified voltage (120 V 60 Hz).
Use the attached power cord only.

Your 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
descrambler device which is generally provided
by the Cable TV company.
For subscribers to basic cable TV service.
For basi c cable service not requ iring a con v erter/
descrambler box, connect the 75 ohm coaxial
cable directly to the RF IN jack on the back of
your TV.

If you subscribe to 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 Coaxial Cable, connect the output jack
of the converter/descrambler box to the RF IN
Jack on your TV. Set your TV to the output
channel of the converter/descrambler box
(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/
descrambler box to select channels.
