Basic Cable TV Connection
The cable TV signal into your home may
be a single cable (75ohm) or may include
a cable Box. In either case, the connection
to the TV is easy.
If your Cable TV signal comes directly
via a 75 ohm coaxial cable, use the following steps:
Connect the Cable TV signal to the
75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on
the rear of the TV. Screw it down
finger tight.
Plug the TV power cord into a
power outlet and turn on the TV. Set
TV/CATV to CATV as detailed in page
11.
Refer to AUTO SEARCH to set up
your available channels. Details are

Basic Antenna Connection
A combination antenna receives normal
broadcasting channels (VHF2-13 and UHF
14-69). Your connection is easy since you
will connect the antenna to the 75OHM
ANTENNA INPUT jack on the rear of the
TV.
If your antenna has a round cable (75
ohm) on the end, then you are ready to
connect it to the TV. Go to step 2.
If your antenna has flat twin-lead wire
(300 ohm), you first need to attach the
antenna wire to the screws on a 300 to
75 ohm adapter (not supplied with TV).
Push the round end of the adapter or
antenna cable onto the 75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the rear of the TV. If
the round end of the antenna cable is
threaded, screw it down finger tight.
Plug the TV power cord into a power
outlet and turn on the TV. Set TV/CATV
to CATV as detailed on page 11.
Refer to AUTO SEARCH to set up your
available channels. Details are on page 12.

Stereo and Second Audio Program
Multi-channel Sound (MTS) broadcasts enhance TV viewing by bringing you programs
with high fidelity stereo sound.
MTS also provides an extra channel called
the Second Audio Program (SAP), which
broadcasters can use to transmit a second
language or for other purposed.
Press MTS on the remote control to
select STEREO, MONO, SAP, or
MONO+SAP. All the options will be
available only when the current TV
channel is broadcasting that option.
Channels will not always carry
programs that have all the MTS
options.
If STEREO appears on the screen
when you select a channel, stereo
broadcasting is available with the
current TV program. You can hear
sound from the left and right speakers of the TV.
If the broadcast is not strong or clear,
stereo sound is not available. Press
the MTS button to change to MONO.
This should eliminate the noise.

Care and Cleaning
WARNING concerning stationary images on the TV
screen: Do not leave fixed images on the screen for
extended periods of time.This can cause uneven aging
of the picture tube.
Normal use of the TV should involve viewing of programs that
have constantly moving or changing images. Do not leave nonmoving images on screen for extended periods of time. Do not
display the same images too frequently; subtle ghost images
can be left on the picture tube. Sources of stationary images
may be Laser discs, video games, Compact Discs Interactive
(CD-i), or paused Digital Video Discs (DVDs) or videotapes.
Here are some common examples of stationary images:
• DVD menus - listings of DVD content.
• Letterbox black bars - appear at the top and bottom of
the TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed
on a TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio. This is available
with some DVDs.
• Video-game images and scoreboards
Television station logos - These cause a problem if they
are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics
are less likely to damage the picture tube.
Stock-market tickers - may appear at the bottom of the
TV screen if the TV programming covers this news.
Shopping channel logos, pricing displays - These may
be bright and may appear constantly during the show.These
are usually in the same location on the TV screen.
TV LOCATION
•
To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and an
increased chance of TV failure, do not place the TV where
temperatures can become excessively hot (for example,
in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance).
•
Allow a free flow of air around the TV.
CLEANING
•
To avoid possible shock hazard, remove the TV s power
cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
•
Regularly dust the TV with a dry, non-scratching duster.
•
When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage
the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything
abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the screen
with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy,
vertical strokes when cleaning.
•
Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or a
sponge dampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a
mild soap or detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the
wiped surfaces.
•
Occasionally vacuum the vents on the rear of the TV.
•
Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on
or near the cabinet. They may blemish the cabinet permanently.
