other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If

the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized

plug.

Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Teletext or Other Fixed Image Displays.

The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent "shadow image" on the picture tube. This
background image is viewable on normal programs inthe form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible picture tube

deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
A. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.

B. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
C. Turn the power off when not in actual use.

NOTE: The marking or retained image on the picture tube resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as

such is not covered by Warranty. This product is not designed to display fixed image patterns for extended periods of
time.

Antenna Connection

How to Install VHF/UHF Rod Antenna

A VHF/UHF rod antenna is supplied.

Push the stem of the VHF/UHF antenna into the antenna hole on the cabinet back as shown.
Extend the antenna and adjust its length, direction and angle for the clearest picture.

Outdoor VHF/UHF Antenna - Reception isbest with a properly installed outdoor antenna, particularly in weak signal

areas. Contact your Dealer or Service Technician for recommendations of antennas best suited for your area when
required. Connect antenna as shown in one of the drawings.

Cable TV Connection

You are capable of receiving channels from general types of cable TV systems. Certain cable systems offset some
channels to reduce interference or have Premium (scrambled) channels, so a cable converter box is required. Toensure
proper installation and reception, check with your local cable company for its compatibility requirements.
