Installation

Receiver Location

This unit is intended to be used with an optional stand or entertainment center. Consult your dealer for available options.

Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the

screen.

Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range.

Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or

moisture.

To insure optimum color purity do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fans, other speakers, etc.) nearby.

Optional External Equipment Connections

The Video/Audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best
performance, video cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or
electronic supply house.

Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of input and output connectors your various components

require. Also determine the length of cable you’ll need.

AC Power Supply Cord

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot of AC outlet and

fully insert. DO NOT USE this (polarized) plug with a receptacle or other outlet unless the
blade can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.______________________________

Remote Control Battery Installation

Requires two “AA" batteries.

1. Turn the Transmitter face down. Remove top cover by pressing
down on marking and sliding cover off in the direction
indicated.

2. Install the batteries as shown in the battery compartment.
(Polarity (+) or (“) must match the markings in the compartment.)

3. Replace the cover and slide until the lock snaps.

Helpful Hint:

For frequent Remote Control users, replace old batteries with
Alkaline batteries for longer life.

CAUTION; Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion
that will damage the Remote Control Transmitter.

Observe the Following Precautions:

1. Batteries should always be replaced as a pair. Always use new batteries
when replacing the old set.

2. Do not combine a used battery with a new one.

3. Do not mix battery types (Example: “Zinc Carbon” with “Alkaline”).

4. Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn used
batteries.

5. Battery replacement is necessary when Remote Control acts sporadically
or stops operating the Receiver.

Helpful Hint:

Whenever you remove the batteries to replace
them, you may need to reset the Remote
Control Infrared Codes. We recommend that you
record the codes on page 30, prior to setting up the
remote.

Care and Cleaning

Picture Tube (Turn set off)

Use a mild soap solution or window cleaner and a clean cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS. Avoid

excessive moisture and always wipe dry.

Plastic Cabinets

Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild detergent solution and wipe dry with a soft
clean cloth. Avoid excessive moisture. Do not use benzene, thinners, or other petroleum based cleaners.

Wood Cabinets

When dusting or polishing the cabinet, use a clean soft cloth and stroke straight with the grain. An occasional
coat of furniture polish will help preserve the finish. Do not use benzene, thinners, or other petroleum based
cleaners. Do not place objects made of plastic or rubber directly on top of the cabinet. A chemical reaction
could result causing permanent marring of the finish.
