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 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 app-

aratus. 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 power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into apparatus, 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; or B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appli-

ance; 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 damaged.

17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended

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

ANTENNATV

combination antenna receives normal broadcast chan-

nels (VHF 2–13 and UHF 14–69). Your connection is easy because there is only one 75Ω(ohm) antenna plug on the back of your TV, and that’s where the antenna goes.

If yourantenna has a round cable(75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready to connect it to the TV.

If yourantenna 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.

Push the round endof the adapter (or antenna) onto the 75Ω(ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end of

the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.

FEATURES

Active Control™ continuously measures and corrects all incoming signals to help provide the best picture quality. This feature monitors and corrects both the sharpness control and noise reduction control.

Audio/Video Jack Panel allows direct connections with VCRs, DVDs, or other devices, providing quality TV picture and sound playback.

Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control keeps the TV sound at an even level. Peaks and valleys that occur during program changes or commercial breaks are reduced, making for a more consistent, comfortable sound.

AutoChron™ automatically sets the right time of day and maintains it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.

AutoLock™ allows you to block the viewing of certain channels or programs with certain ratings if you do not want your children to view inappropriate materials.

Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.

AutoPicture™ allows you to change the picture settings (color, tint, contrast, etc.) for various types of programming, such as sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals with the push of one button.

AutoSound™ allows you to select from three factory-set controls and a personal control that you set according to your own preferences through the onscreen Sound menu. The three factory-set controls (Voice, Music, and Theatre) enable you to tailor the TV sound so as to enhance the particular programming you are watching.

Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the list stored in the TV’s memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or expand the number of channels that are available to you when you press the Channel (+) or (–) buttons on your remote control.

Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dialogue or voice conversations as onscreen text.

Dynamic Contrast helps to sharpen the picture quality by improving the contrast between the darkest and brightest parts of the picture.

Eye Fidelity (also know as Digital Options) give a choice of two different scanning technics – Progressive Scan or Interlaced. Progressive Scan doubles the number of visible lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at once, eliminating any picture flicker. The Interlaced mode provides a double vertical display scan, which reduces annoying motion sweeps. The Interlaced mode will also smooth out the jagged lines sometimes seen on the edges of curved or angled surfaces.

Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remotecontrolled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and satellite receivers.

Onscreen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for setting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or Spanish).

Your new television and its packing contain materials that can be recycled and reused. Specialized companies can recycle your product to increase the amount of reusable materials and minimize the amounts that need to be properly disposed.

Your product also uses batteries that should not be thrown away when depleted, but should be handed in and disposed of as small chemical waste.

When you replace your existing equipment, please find out about the local regulations regarding disposal of your old television, batteries, and packing materials.

END-OF-LIFE DISPOSAL

Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set amount of time that you choose.

Standard Broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV) channel capability allows for viewing by antenna or cable.

Stereo capability, including a built-in audio amplifier and twinspeaker system, allows for the reception of TV programs broadcast in stereo sound.

Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the channels that are of interest to you (the ones that you have

programmed into the TV’s Surf control through the onscreen menu).

Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself ON and OFF once or daily like an alarm clock.

JACK P

ANEL DESCRIPTIONS AND REQUIRED CABLES

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connects signals from an antenna or a cable TV company to the antenna jack on the back of the TV. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.

A two-way signal splitter enables you to take a single antenna or cable TV signal and supply it to two different inputs.

A 300- to 75-ohm twin-lead adapter accepts the antenna cables (called twinlead wires) from an antenna, allowing you to connect the antenna signal to the TV.

An S-Video cable provides better picture performance than regular (composite) video connections. S-Video cables can be used only with SVideo-compatible accessory devices. You must also connect the left and right audio cables to the AV 2 Audio in jacks because the S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Video and audio cables with standard RCA (phono) connectors connect the video and audio jacks of accessory devices such as VCRs and DVD players to the jacks on the TV.

These connectors are usually color coded. The jacks on your TV are also color coded to match the colors of the connectors. Yellow for video (composite) and Red and White for the right and left audio channels. The video cables used to connect component video or RGB (high-resolution) jacks are color coded red, green, and blue.

An VGA (HD15) cable makes a VGA (RGB) connection to the HD INPUT-AV 4 jack on the rear of the TV.
