First let's connect your Antenna

or Cable TV signal to your TV.
This will be easy since there is
only one antenna plug (75[2) on

the back of your TV - and that's
where the antenna goes.

<_ If your antenna (or CABLE

"IVsignal) has a round cable

(75 ohm) with a metal prong (F-
connector) on the end, then you're

ready to connect it to the TV.

If your antenna has flat twin-
lead wire (300ohm), you first

need to attachthe antenna wires to
the screws on an optional (300 to

75 ohm) adapter.

<_ Push the round end of the

cable (or adapter) onto the

ANTENNA plug on the back of
the TV. If the round end of the

cable connector is threaded, screw
it down tight.

O

lTry it out. Press POWER to

turn the TV ON. Press the

CHANNEL UP button. You
should see local channels flash by.

j_%Remember. Use the

ST TIME SETUP section

(page 8) to have the TV

automatically set¶tself for local
channels and type of antenna

signal.

CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or
TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving patternon the "IV screen,

can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source
the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image

permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF.
Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

i Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 1minute, then reinsert plug into outlet

and push POWER button again.

I

Check to be sure outlet is not on a wall switch.

Check antenna connections on the mar of the TV. Are they properly secured to the

antenna plug on the TV?
Check the CABLE CHANNEL TUNING control for correct position.

Check PICTURE SOURCE control for correct position. VCR/AUXI or AUX2
position without a signal source will result in a blank screen.

Check the VOLUME buttons. /
Check the MU'I_ button on the remote control.

Check the INTERNAL TV SPEAKER ON/OFF control for the correct position.

If attempting auxiliary equipment hook-ups, check audio jack connections and that the
auxiliary equipment is on and in the proper operating modes.

Check TV-VCR-CBL "System" buttons on the remote. Press the remote's TV System
button to send commands to the TV.
Check batteries. Replace with 9-Volt Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries

if necessary.

Clean the remote and the remote sensor window on the TV.

i Repeat channel selection. [

Add desired channel numbers (ADD/DELETE CHANNELS control) into TV memory.
Check CABLE CHANNEL TUNING control for correct position.

This 'IV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the TV off in case of moderate
power surges. Should this occur turn the TV back on by pressing the POWER button

once or twice, or unplug and then replug the power cord at the AC outlet.
This feature is NOT designed to prevent damage due to high power surges such as those

caused by lightning, which is not covered by your warranty.

Cleanin__ 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 brushes designed to get
into the ridges of the TV screen. If interested, ask your dealer about the SBS4100 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.

57

Coaxial Cable * A single solid antenna wire normally matched
with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes)
directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR.

Display * An on screen message or graphics that help the user
operate and adjust his Television feature controls. See On

Screen Displays (OSD).

Direct Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rearof 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
Converter.) Once the code has been "identified" then the TV

remote can send commands to and operate the other product.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast
standard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the

TV picture.

On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or

messages generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user
with specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming,

etc.).

Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the
Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.

Picture -In-Picture (PIP) * Term used when two pictures are
shown on the TV screen at the same time. The smaller PIP

picture is supplied by a VCR (or other tuner/video playback
source). The PiP picture can also be moved and swapped with
the TV's main _reen 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.

I

Second Audio Program (SAP) * An additional audio
channel provided for in the Multichanne! 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).

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.
