Safety Instructions For Television Receivers

1. Read and apply the operating instructions provided with your television receiver.

2. Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for later use.

3. Unplug this television receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.

4. Do not use attachments not recommended by the television receiver manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

5. Do not use this television receiver near water. For example: Avoid placing it near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or

laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

6. Do not place this television receiver on an unstable cart, stand or table. The television receiver may fall, causing serious

injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the television receiver. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer's instructions,

and should use a mounting kit approved 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.

7. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to insure
reliable operation of the television receiver and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the television receiver on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface. This television receiver should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This television receiver
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

8. Operate only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are nat sure of the type of power
supplied to your home consult your television dealer or local power company. For television receivers designed to
operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.

9. This television receiver is equipped with 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 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.

10. Do not allow anything to rest on the power
cord. Do not locate this television receiver

where the cord will be abused by persons
walking on it.

11. Follow all warnings and instructions marked

on the television receiver.

12. Do not overload wall outlets and extension

cords as this can result in fire or electric
shock.

13. Never push objects of any kind into this

television receiver through cabinet slots as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a fire or

electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the television receiver.

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 in the 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 markin'g or retained image on the picture tube resultingfrom fixed image use is not an operating defect and as

such isnot covered byWarranty. This productis notdesigned to displayfixed image patterns for extended periods of
time.

Installation

Receiver Location

Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the screen. Adequate
ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or moisture. 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 output and input connectors your various components require. Also determine the length of cable

you'll need. "

AC Power Supply Cord

Insert (Polarized) plug into 120 volts60Hz standard AC outlet. Do notdefeat the safety purpose ofthe A __,-.

polarized plug.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN

EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADE CAN BE FULLY
INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

Remote Control Battery Installation & Replacement
Battery Installation

Batteries: Use two "AA" batteries.

1. Turn the Transmitter face down. To remove bottom cover, press down on
marking and slide cover off in the direction indicated.

2. Install the batteries as shown in the battery compartment. (Polarity (+) or (-)
must be correct.)

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

Precaution on Battery Use
Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion that willdamage the
Remote Control Transmitter.

Observe the Following Precautions:

1. Batteries must be replaced as a pair.

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 isnecessary when Remote Control reacts sporadically or
stops operating the Receiver.

Helpful Hints:

The PIP willoperate using Audio/Video input terminals 1,2 or 3. Use the TV/VIDEO button (when the PIP frame is displayed) to select
proper mode.

The PIP feature will operate using S-VIDEO input terminal 1.

Note: CT-35S31 has 2 Antenna inputs. 0T-35S21 has only one Antenna input.

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 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 polishingthe cabinet, use a clean soft cloth and stroke straight with the grain. An occasional coat offurniture polishwillhelp

preserve the finish. Do not use benzene, thinners or other petroleum based cleaners. Do not place objects made ofplastic or rubber directly
on top of the cabinet. A chemical reaction could result causing permanent marring of the finish.

Remote Control Transmitter

Do not use benzene, thinners or other petroleum based cleaners to clean the Remote Control Transmitter. To clean, wipe with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent and then wipe drywith a soft clean cloth.
