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 "IV viewing.

Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into
outlet and push POWER button again.
Check to be sure outlet is not on a wall switch.

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 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.

M

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.

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.

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 acces-

so:des) 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 operate and send commands to the other product.

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 numb,

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.)

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 wait-

ing 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 reo

an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75 .t

Input terminals designed into the more recent Televisions and
VCRs.
