l_irst let's connect your Antenna

l or Cable TV signal to your TV.

This will be easy since there is
only one antenna plug (75_) on

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

[-BEG--gffi-a'l

_ If your antenna (or CABLE

TV signal) has a round cable

'75 ohm) with a metal prong (F-

connector) on the end, then you're

ready to connect it to the "IV.

If your antenna has flat twin-

lead wire (300ohm), you first
need to attach the 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.

;Try it out. Press POWER to

turn the TV ON. Press the

CHANNEL "UPbutton. You
should see local channels flash by.

_[_-- _ Remember. Use the

FIRST "lIME SETUP section

(page 8) to have the TV
automatically set itself for local

channels and type of antenna

signal.

After setup whenever a stereo
signal is received the audio will be
heard in Surround Sound.

Note: The rear Surround Sound
speakers will not be heard at the

same volume level as the front TV
speakers. It is intended for the rear

speakers to give a background
noise effect which requires a lower

volume level than the TV's front
speakers.

_[_.X_ Remember. An optional

"_ SUBWOOFER "Amplifier -
Speaker" can .also be connected to
the TV. The Subwoofer jack on the
TV outputs a low level Bass signal.
When this jack is connected to an
,Mnplifier Subwoofer speaker it
complements the sound coming
from the rear Surround speakers.
Contact your dealer for more
information if"you would be
interested in adding such an
accessory to your home audio
system.

For an added dimension of
Surround Sound you may also

want to place the TV in the

into the ridges of the TV screen. If interested, ask your dealer about the SBS4100 Projection "W Screen Cleaning Kit or
call our toll-free Accessory Parts ordering number 1-800-292-6066.

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.
