CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or

TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV 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 1 minute, 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 rear 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 position without
a signal source will result in a blank screen.

Check the VOLUME buttons.
Check the MUTE 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.

i 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 3-AA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries
if necessary.
Clean the remote and the remote sensor window on the TV.

- Repeat channel selection. ]

• Add desired channel numbers (ADD/DELETE CHANNELS control) into TV memory.

•. Check CABLE CHANNEL TUNING control for correct position.

Cleaning

This TV 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

Ionce 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.

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 or call our toll-free Information Center Parts(I-800-292-

6066) for details.
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

45

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 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
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 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) * An 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).

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.
