For most homes this step would
not be needed but for your

information:

Up to 9 different remote locator
address codes can be set on which the

TV can send out its "homing" signal.
This is done in case there is more than

one TV (with a remote locator)
present, and you want only one
specific remote to be signaled when the

TV is turned ON.*
To set a Locator Address Code:

<_ With TV turned ON, press the

LOCATOR CODE button on the
remote. (Also be sure the TV
SYSTEM button on the remote has
been pressed.)

You will need a pencil or pen to press
the recessed button.

The TV shows the present Remote

The remote will beep to let you know
it has received the new Locator Code

When setting the Locator Code if any

button, other than the number buttons,
are pressed the remote will return to its
normal operation mode.

*For owners who live in an apartment

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.

Cleaning and Care

IThis 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.

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 the front 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.

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).

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.
