2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with a dry cloth.

7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accor-

dance with the manufacturers instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat regis-

ters, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that pro­duce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-

type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than
the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and third
grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for
your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your out­let, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched partic-

ularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table

specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus

When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/

apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for

long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is

required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.

15. This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of these

materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations.
For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local
authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org

16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serv-

iced by qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appli-

ance; or

C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or

exhibits a marked change in performance; or

E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended

international global safety standards for tilt and stability proper­ties of its cabinet design.

• Do not compromise these design standards by applying exces­sive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could
ultimately overturn the product.

• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electron­ic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could
unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product
damage and/or personal injury.

18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted

to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away

from power lines.

20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is con-

nected to the receiver, 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 Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70­1984, 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 connectors, loca­tion of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding elec­trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure
below.

21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that

objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure
through openings.

22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that

may result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the
unit:

• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as marked on
the unit.

• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).

• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.

Example of Antenna Grounding
as per NEC - National Electric Code

Note to the 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.

he Cable TV input into your home may be a

single (75 ohm) cable. If so, this connection is
very simple. Follow the steps below to connect
your cable signal to your new television.

Direct Cable Connections:

1

Connect the open end of the round
Cable Company supplied cable to

the 75Ω input on the TV. Screw it
down finger tight.

BASIC CABLE TV CONNECTION

Back of TV

Direct Cable Connection:

Cable signal coming

from Cable

Company (Round

75Ω coaxial cable)

Jack Panel Back of TV

A

combination antenna receives normal broad-

cast channels (VHF 2–13 and UHF 14–69).
Your connection is easy because there is only one
75Ω (ohm) antenna plug on the back of your
TV, and that’s where the antenna goes.

1

If your antenna has a round cable

(75 ohm) on the end, then you're
ready to connect it to the TV.

If your antenna has a flat, twin­lead wire (300 ohm), you first need

to attach the antenna wires to the
screws on a 300- to 75-ohm adapter.

2

Push the round end of the adapter
(or antenna) onto the 75Ω (ohm) plug
on the back of the TV. If the round
end of the antenna wire is threaded,
screw it down finger tight.

BASIC ANTENNA CONNECTION

After using the AutoProgram Control, press
the CH + and – buttons to scroll through all
the channels stored in the television’s memory.

2

Using a separate round coaxial cable,

connect one end to the OUT(put)
(TO TV) plug on the back of the
Cable Box.

3

Connect the other end of the

round coaxial cable to the 75Ω input

on the back of the television. Screw it
down finger tight.

NOTE: Be sure to set the OUTPUT CHAN­NEL SWITCH on the back of the cable box to
CH 3 or 4, then tune the TV to the corre­sponding channel. Once tuned, change chan­nels at the cable box, not the television.

This connection will supply Stereo sound to
the TV.

4

Connect the open end of the

omponent Video inputs provide for the high-

est possible color and picture resolution in
the playback of digital signal source material,
such as with DVD players. The color difference
signals (Pb, Pr) and the luminance signal (Y) con­nected and received separately, which allows for
improved color bandwidth information (not possi­ble when using composite video or S-Video con­nections).

Pr) Video OUT jacks from the DVD

player (or similar device) to the (Y, Pb,
Pr) in(put) jacks on the TV. When
using the Component Video Inputs, it

3

Turn the TV and the DVD (or
digital accessory device) ON.

4

Press the CH + or CH- buttons to
set the TV to its CVI channel. (Go to

your lowest channel, for example channel
1, then change channels down to find the
correct source channel.)

5

Insert a DVD disc into the DVD player
and press the PLAY  button on

the DVD Player.

B-Y, R-Y; Y, Cr, Cb). Although abbrevia­tions and terms may vary, the letters b and
r stand for the blue and red color compo­nent signal connectors, and Y indicates the
luminance signal. Refer to your DVD or
digital accessory owner’s manual for defini­tions and connection details.
