IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION:
Please read and retain for your safety.
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This TV
set has been engineered and manufactured to assure your
personal safety. But improper use can result in potentialelectrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the
safeguards incorporated in this TV set, observe the following
basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
And also follow all warnings and instructions marked on your
TV set.
INSTALLATION
1 Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one
blade of the plug is wider than the other).
This safety feature allows the plug to fit into the power
outlet only one way. Should you be unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
Should it still fail to fit, contact your electrician.
2 Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated
on the TV set or refer to the operating instructions for this
information. If you are not sure of the type of power supply
to your home, consult your TV set dealer or local power
company. For battery operation, refer to the operating
instructions.
3 Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are danger-
ous, and so are frayed power cords and broken plugs.
They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service
technician for replacement.
4 Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power
cord, and do not place the TV set where power cord is
subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or
fire hazard.
5 Do not use this TV set near water — for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near swimming pool, etc.

20 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 shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry
as practical.
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some pro t e c t i o n
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810
of the National Electrical Code provides information with re s p e c t
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting stru c t u re ,
g rounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size
of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection re q u i rements for the grounding electro d e .
7 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.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
8 TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet

CONNECTIONS CHECKLIST — READ ME FIRST!
The Connections Checklist — Read Me First! section of this guide is a list of ideas to keep in mind
when you set out to perform your connections. It is designed to help us not-so-technicallyadvanced individuals. If you read this section, and can’t identify the plugs, connectors, and
components you have, do not be afraid to seek help.
1) Always refer to the connection instructions in the user’s
guide for your components first! The manufacturer will
provide the most detailed information about their products.
2) Know your jacks and plugs — most are color coded:
• Yellow plugs are Video connections
• Red plugs are Right Audio connections
A/V input plug
• White or black plugs are Left Audio (Mono) connections (if your VCR is mono, it will have a white or black
plug, no red)
3) Perform one hookup at a time. If you have many
accessories to connect, make sure each connection is
correct by checking to see that it works properly before
attempting the next connection.
4) Unplug the power cord between each connection.
5) In and Out Concept. Remember In and Out. The Output jack from one
piece will go to the Input jack of the other — read the jack panels, they
are all labeled.

Some Sound Advice
You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AIR arrow in the MTS
menu. Unfortunately, it is common for some cable companies to squash the transmission of
stereo programs to mono because they only have mono equipment. If connected to a cable
system, the sound is at the mercy of that cable company — if they broadcast in mono, you
receive mono sound regardless of the original stereo programming.
Fortunately, most programs that are broadcast in stereo are aired on the major television
networks. If you connect your TV to an antenna instead of cable, and set the tuner mode in the
Auto Tuner Setup to “Air” instead of “Cable,” you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in
stereo.

• The tuner mode (in the Auto Tuner Setup) could be set improperly, refer to page 13.
• The station may be having difficulties, check to see if other channels are operating normally.
• Check that the batteries are still working and properly installed.
• Make sure there are no objects blocking a clear path from the remote to the TV.
• Check that the TV/CAT Vswitch is in the proper position (RM-C340 and RM-C345) — set to TV to view television.
• Maybe you are too far from the TV, you must be within 23 feet (or 7 meters).
• Make sure the channels are programmed. See Channel Summary, page 13.

Static electricity
You hear occasional
crackling sounds
• There could be interference from another energy consuming appliance, such as a computer,
another TV or VCR. Move any other such appliances farther away from the TV.
• T h e re could be interf e rence from a running high wattage appliance such as a hair- d ry e r, vacuum
c l e a n e r, or neon sign. You will have to move the antenna away from the source of the
i n t e rf e rence or change it to a coaxial cable which is less prone to interf e re n c e .
• A building or airplane can reflect the original signal producing a second, delayed one. Adjust
the antenna position.
• The antenna may be damaged, disconnected or turned. Check the antenna connection,
page 6, and your Quick Setup Guide. If it is damaged, you will have to replace it.
• Closed Caption Text Mode is on. Turn it off in the Closed Caption Menu (page 18).
CHECK
• Make sure the MTS mode is properly set. Refer to page 16 for details on setting MTS Modes.
• TV Speakers may be turned off in the menu, see page 17.
DON’T WORRY ABOUT THIS, IT’S NORMAL
• It is normal to feel a surge of static electricity if you brush over or touch the scre e n .
• It is normal for the TV to emit crackling sounds when turned on or off. Unless the sound or
picture become abnormal, this is fine.
