3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat regis-
ters, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-
type plug.A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.The wide blade or third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particu-
larly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11.Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12.Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by
the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus.When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus com­bination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13.Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
14.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as if the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, or if the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15.This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of these
materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org).
16.Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced
by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;
B. Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits
a marked change in performance;
E. The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
17.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.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70­1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, loca­tion of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
21.Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects

• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.
Note to the Cable TV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the Cable TV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines 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.

T
he Cable TV signal into your home may be a single cable (75 ohm) or may include a Cable
Box. In either case, the connection to the TV is easy.
If your Cable TV signal comes directly via a 75
coaxial cable, use the following
steps.
1
Connect the Cable TV signal to the 75
OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on
the rear of the TV. Screw it down tight.
2
Plug the TV’s power cord into a power outlet and turn on the TV. Set
TV/CABLE to CABLE as detailed on page
11. Refer to AUTO PROGRAM to set up your available TV channels. Details are on page
12.
If you have a Cable Box, use the following steps.
1
Connect the Cable TV signal to the IN jack on the Cable Box.
2
Connect a separate coaxial cable to the OUT jack on the Cable Box and to the 75
OHM ANTENNA
INPUT
jack on the rear of the TV.
3
Plug the TV’s power cord into a power outlet and turn on the TV.
Set TV/CABLE to CABLE as detailed on page 11.
4
Set the TV to channel 3 or 4 (the
same as the Channel 3/4 switch on your Cable Box if applicable). Change chan-
nels at the Cable Box.
Basic Cable TV Connection
An RF coaxial cable (to con­nect the Cable Box to the TV) may be supplied by the Cable TV company. It is not supplied with the TV.
You can connect a Satellite Receiver the same way you would connect a Cable Box.
Helpful Hints
Your Cable Box may have separate Audio and Video Out jacks instead. If so, use audio and video cables to connect the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks of the Cable Box to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN 2 jacks on the rear of the TV. Press TV/AV/EXIT on the TV’s remote control to set the TV to the VIDEO 2 channel. Change TV channels at the Cable Box.

combination antenna receives normal
broadcast channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69).Your connection is easy since you will connect the antenna to the 75
OHM ANTENNA
INPUT
jack on the rear of the TV.
1
If your antenna has a round cable
(75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready to connect it to the TV. Go to step 2.
If your antenna has flat twin-lead wire (300 ohm), you first need to attach
the antenna wires to the screws on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter (not supplied with TV).
2
Push the round end of the adapter or
antenna cable onto the 75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the rear of the TV. If the round end of the antenna cable is threaded, screw it down tight.
3
Plug the TVs power cord into a power outlet and turn on the TV.
Set TV/CABLE to TV as detailed on page

he basic Antenna/Cable TV to Accessory
(VCR, DVD Player, etc.) to TV connection is
shown at right. For other hookups (such as those with Cable Boxes), refer to the owner’s manual of the Cable Box or other Accessories.
1
Connect a yellow video cable to the VIDEO IN 2 jack on the rear of the TV and to the VIDEO OUT jack on your VCR (or other accessory).
2
Connect red and white audio cables to the AUDIO IN 2 jacks (left and right) on the rear of the TV and to the AUDIO OUT jacks on the VCR
(or other device). Match the cable colors to the jack colors.
3
Turn on the TV and the VCR.
4
Press theTV/AV/EXIT button on the TV’s remote control until VIDEO 2 appears in the upper right
corner of the TV screen.When you play material on the VCR, DVD Player, etc. that is connected to the AUDIO and VIDEO IN 2 jacks on the rear of the TV, it will appear on the TV on the VIDEO 2 channel.
Basic TV to VCR (Accessory) Connection
Audio and video cables are not supplied with the TV. Audio cables are usually marked with red and white. Video cables (CVBS) are usually marked with yellow.
You can connect the anten­na or Cable TV signal to either the ANTENNA IN jack on your VCR or to the 75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the TV. If you connect it to the VCR, choose TV channels at the VCR. Connect it to the VCR if you want to record TV programming through the VCR.
Your VCR may not have Audio and Video Out jacks, but only an RF or ANTEN­NA OUT jack. Use an RF coaxial cable to connect the VCR’s ANTENNA OUT jack to the TV’s 75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack.
Helpful Hints
There are more AUDIO and VIDEO IN jacks at the lower-right corner of the rear of the TV. These are the AUDIO and VIDEO IN 1 jacks. Use these if you have more equipment to connect to the TV. To view material playing on equipment connected to these jacks, select the VIDEO 1 channel at the TV. (Press TV/AV/EXIT so VIDEO 1 appears in the top right corner of the TV screen.) There is also an S-VIDEO IN jack in this area. Use S-Video connections instead if your DVD Player, Camcorder, etc., has an S-Video Out jack. S-Video provides a clearer picture than the standard CVBS video (the yellow jack). Choose the VIDEO 1 channel to view material playing on equipment connect­ed to the S-VIDEO IN jack. Use either the S-VIDEO IN 1 jack or the VIDEO IN 1 jack.You cannot use both at the same time for the same piece of equipment. Doing so would interfere with the picture display.
