Cleaning and Care
To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using
anything abrasive- do not use household cleaners). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use
even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning,
Specially designed screen cleaning kits are also available which contain anti-static cleaners and cloths designed to get
into the ridges of the TV screen. If interested, ask your dealer about the MAG4600 Projection TV Screen Cleaning Kit or
call our toll-free Accessory Parts ordering number 1-800-292-6066.
Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or 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 ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.
Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring
of the cabinet finish.
Add desired channel numbers (ADD/DELETE CHANNELS control) into TV memory.
I Repeat channel selection. [

operate and adjust his Television feature controls. See On
Screen Displays (OSD).
Direct Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rear of the TV
these connectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input
of audio and video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or
other accessories) in order to receive higher picture resolution
and offer sound connection options.
Identify* Method by which a remote control searches and finds
an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or Cable
Convener). Once the code has been "identified" then the TV
remote can operate and send commands to the other product.
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast
standard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the
TV picture.
Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the
Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.
Picture -lnoPicture (PIP) * Term used when two pictures are
shown on the T'V screen at the same time. The smaller PIP
picture is supplied by a VCR (or other tuner/video playback
source). Tile PIP picture can also be moved and swapped with
the TV's main screen picture.
Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel
numbers into the Television's memory circuits. In this way
the Television "remembers" only the locally available or
desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted
channel numbers.
Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening found on
the Television control panel through which infrared remote
control command signals are received.
Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or additional audio
channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound
(MTS) broadcast standard. The most frequently proposed use
for SAP is the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV
program material.
Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel
number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to
clear the Television of on screen displays or information
(rather than waiting for the displays to "time out" or
automatically disappear from the screen).
S-Video Input * Allows direct connection of high-resolution
video sources, such as a Super VHS videocassette recorder,
Laser Disc player, etc. Provides optimum picture resolution,
sharpness, and clarity.
Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the
two strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and
outdoor antenna systems. In many cases this type of antenna
wire requires an additional adapter (or balun) in order to
connect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals designed into the more
recent Televisions and VCRs.
