trical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safe-

guards 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.

6 If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, be sure the

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 respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting stru ct u re, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharg e

CONNECTIONS CHECKLIST — READ ME FIRST!

The Connections Checklist 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-technically-advanced 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) Refer to the connection instructions in the user’s guide for each component you plan to connect.

They will provide more detailed information about their products, and they will tell you what plugs and cables are required.

2) Most A/V input jacks and plugs are color coded:

• Yellow plugs are Video connections

• Red plugs are for Right Audio connections

• White plugs are Left Audio (Mono) connections

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. (For example, always start with the RF or Cable connections, make sure it works, then move on to video or VCR connections.)

4) Unplug the power cord between each connection.

5) Each jack on the back of the TV is labeled. If you

read these instructions and still do not fully understand the connections process, seek assistance.
