A ombination antenna receives

normal broadcast channels

(VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69). Your

connection is easy since there is
only one 75_ (ohm) antenna plug

on the back of your TV - and

<hat's where the antenna goes.

) 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 flat twin-lead

wire (300 ohm), you first need to
attach the antenna wires to the screws

on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.

Push the round end of the

adapter (or antenna) onto the

ANTENNA/CABLE plug on the rear
of the "IV. If the round end of the

antenna wire is threaded, screw it
down tight.

@

me of you may have two sep-

rate antennas. One antenna

is for VHF channels (2-13) and
the other anter_t is for UHF
channels (14-69).

For horn,es with separate

UHF/VHF antennas, you will

need an optional "combiner"
before you can connect to the TV.
See the "Smart Help" section (to

the right on this page)for order-

ing details.

<_ Attach the separate UHF and

VHF antennas to the correct screws

on the combiner.

Ibiner onto the AN_NNA/CABLE

plug on the rear of the TV.

Check batteries. Replace with AAA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteri_
if necessary.

Clean the remote and the remote sensor window on the TV.
Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait I0 seconds, then reinsert plug into

outlet and push POWER button again.
Check to be sure TV outlet is not on a wall switch.

Repeat channel selection.

Add desired channel numbers (CHANNEL EDIT control) into TV memory.
Check TUNING ANTENNA/CABLE control for correct position.

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
once or twice, or unplug (wait 10 seconds) 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.

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). Wipe thefront screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when
cleaning.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water. 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.

I

Round Cable 75f2 * 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. (Also known as Coaxial Cable.)

Closed Caption * Broadcast standard which allows you to read
the voice content of television programs on the TV screen.
Designed to help the hearing impaired this feature uses on-screen
"text boxes" to show dialogue and conversations while the TV pro-

gram is in progress.

Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rear of the TV these con-
nectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio
and video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other acces-

sories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound
connection options.

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.

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

Setup Mode * Automatic feature control settings made by the TV.

Designed for first time set-up and use. Settings for signal connec-

tions (antenna or cable TV), plus channel program memory are
held in the TV's memory (even if the set is unplugged and moved

to a new location.)

Status/Exit * 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.
