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).

(POLARIZED-TYPE)

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,

to the operating instructions.

consult your TV set dealer or local power company. For battery operation, refer

3) Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power cords

and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Cali 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 protection 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 structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection
requirements for the grounding electrode.

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 to allow heat generated during
operation to be released.
Therefore:

— Never block the bottom ventilation slots of a portable TV set by placing it on a bed, sofa,

rug, etc.
— Never place a TV set in a “built-in” enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
— Never cover the openings with a cloth or other material.

— Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a

mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.

USE

10) Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set through cabinet

openings. Some Internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or

electrical shock.

11) Unplug the TV set from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or an aerosol

cleaner.

12) Never add accessories to a TV set that has not been designed for this purpose. Such

additions may result in a hazard.

13) For added protection of the TV set during a lightning storm or when the TV set is to be left
unattended for an extended period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect

the antenna. This will prevent damage to product due to lightning storms or power line
surges.

only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions as improper

adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work

by a qualified technician to restore the TV set to normal operation.
E. If the TV set has been dropped or damaged in any way.
F. When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for

service.

16) Do not attempt to service this TV set yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.

17) When replacement parts are required, have the service technician verify in writing that the
replacement parts he uses have the same safety characteristics as the original parts. Use

Connecting a DVD Player, DTV Decoder, and D-VHS

Your AV-56WP30 or AV-48WP30 television is HDTV and SDTV-Ready. This means it can
display High Definition television images when connected to a digital television receiver*. DTV

Decoders are available separately. For best image quality, we recommend using a DTV
Decoder which uses Component Video (Y, PB, PR) Output to connect to the television. The

diagram below shows how to connect a DTV Decoder with using the television’s Component
Video-in jacks.

1) Connect Green cable out from the DTV Decoder “Y” Video Output, in to TV “Y” Component

input.

2) Connect Blue cable out from the DTV Decoder “PB” Video Output, in to TV “PB” Component
input.

3) Connect Red cable out from the DTV Decoder “PR” Video Output, in to TV PR” Component

Input.

4) Connect White Audio cable out the DTV Decoder Left Audio Output, in to TV Left Audio

Input.

5) Connect Red Audio cable out the DTV Decoder Right Audio Output, in to TV Right Audio

Input.

Make sure you use the same numbered input for both the Component Input and Audio
Input. For instance, if you use Component Input 2, also use Audio Input 2.

• Green, blue and red are the most common colors for Component Video cables. Some
models may vary colors, please consult the user’s manual for your DTV Decoder for more
information.

• Be careful not to confuse the red Component Video cable with the red audio cable, it is best

to complete one set of connections (Audio or Video) before starting the other to avoid

accidentally switching the cables.

• Push down on the remote’s back cover and slide towards the bottom to remove it.

• insert two AA batteries (supplied), carefully noting the “+" and markings on the batteries

and on the remote control. To avoid a potential short circuit, insert the end first. Be sure to

use only size AA batteries.

• When batteries are installed, slide the cover back into place (until it clicks into position).

• If the remote control acts erratically, replace the batteries. Typical battery life is six months to
one year. We recommend using alkaline batteries for longer battery life.
