The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the related carbon dioxide pollution
that contributes to global warming. If every American family replaced their TVs and VCRs with ENERGY

STARc_models, it would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by five million tons every year-- equivalent to
eliminating the pollution from more than one million cars.

By using ENERGY STAI_"_products, you will save money on your electric bills and use less energy. That
makes good economic sense and it's good for our environment.

Asan ENERGY STAR Partner, Philips Magnavox has determined that this product meets

the ENERGY STAR _guidelines for energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR 'is a U.S. registered

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read before operating equipment.

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety
standards. There are, however, some installation and operation precautions
which you should be particularly aware of.

1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read
before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instruc-

tions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water - for

example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, etc.

6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand

that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause

the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

6B. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended international

global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinet design.

• Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull
force to the front, or top, of the cabinet, which could ultimately overturn the
product.

• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic equip-
ment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could unsuspectingly fall

from the top of the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or
ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position
does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance
should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block
the ventilation openings, or placed in a built-in installation, such as a book-
case or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation open-

ings.

g. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers)

that produce heat.

10. Power Sources -The appliance should be connected to a power supply
only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the
appliance.

11. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience recepta-
cles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the

manufacturer.

13. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power
lines.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the

receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some

protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.

15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged
from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall
and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

17. Damage Requiring Service -The appliance should be serviced by qualified
service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B. Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or

C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or

D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked

change in performance; or

E. The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure has been damaged.

18. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond
that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be

referred to qualified service personnel.

19. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can

result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

20. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or

which have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized sub-
stitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

21. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the
product is in proper operating condition.

22. Grounding or Polarization - Your TV operates on 120V/60Hz and has a
polarized, alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safe-
ty feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, ask your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

23. Lightning - For added protection of this product during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for a long time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage
to the product due to lightning and power line surges.

24. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the video
product manufacturer. They may be hazardous.

Note to the Cable TV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the Cable

TV system installeCs attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guide-

lines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall
be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.

• Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, electric clocks, toys
using magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from this TV set.

NOTE:

• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located
near the TV and both radio and TV broadcasts are being received. Should such noise appear, turn

off either the TV or the radio.

• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received

Antennas

• The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for

black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly
recommended.

The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various
antenna systems:

1. A 75 ohm system isgenerally a round cable with F4ype connector
that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not
supplied). The F-type connector should be finger tightened

only.

F-type connector

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

2. A 3OO ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached
to a 75 ohm terminal through a 300-75 ohm ADAPTOR (not

supplied). 3O0-ohm twin-lead cable (fiat)

• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna.
A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.
B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.

• Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR on the rear of the
TV set.

• A 75 ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75 ohm
coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75 ohm cable to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR.

• Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay
channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber
by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled
channels. (Set your TV on channel 3 or 4. Typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown,
consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your
cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the conver[er/descrambler provided by your
cable TV company is explained below.
Please note: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.

"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels using the TV's

channel keys.

"B" position on the RP switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converted

descrambler using the converter's channel keys.

Example 1.2 : Age-Based setting

For "TV-G" select "BLOCK" for "AGE". This will automatically
block the higher age ratings "TV-PG", "TV-14", "TV-MA" and

"TV-G".

Furthermore, the Content Ratings "D", "L", "S", "V", "FV" are

automatically blocked as well for "TV-PG", "TV-14" and "TV-

MA" in addition to "TV-G".

Example 2.1 : Content-Based setting
For 'q-V-PG", "TV-14" and "TV-MA" select view ("- - - -") for
each Content Rating but leave "AGE" blocked for 'qS/-PG" and

"TV- 14" only.

Example 2.2 : Content-Based setting
For "TV-PG", select "BLOCK" for only "V" (Violence)
This will automatically block the higher ratings "TV-14-V" and

"TV-MA-V" ("TV- 14" and "TV-MA" for Violence content only).

Please note that with these settings, blocking does NOT

occur if a program is rated only "TV-MA"; it must be rated
"TV-MA-V" to be blocked.

Example 3 : Reset an Age-Based setting
For "TV- 14", select "BLOCK" for "AGE".

This will again automatically block the Content Ratings "D",

"L", "S", "V", "FV" for "TV-MA" in addition to "TV- 14".

Please note that the lower age rating "TV-PG" did not change

from its previous settings.
