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

20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connect-
ed to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric 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
do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through
openings.
Example of Antenna Grounding
as per NEC - National Electric Code
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV 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.

Items Included with This TV
As you unpack your TV, please note that there is a
Directions for Use manual, Quick Use Guide, Warranty
Registration Card, remote control and batteries.
Please take a minute to complete your registration card. The
serial number for the TV is on the rear of the set. Transfer

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.
Double Window PIP allows you to view two different programs
(or picture sources) on the TV screen at the same time. PIP will
also let you swap the picture, move the PIP window to any of
the four screen corners, freeze the picture, or even view a double
PIP window (main picture and PIP picture side-by-side).
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
Picture-In-Picture (PIP) allows you to view two different programs (or picture sources) on the TV screen at the the same
time. PIP will also let you swap the pictures, move the PIP window to any of the four corners of the screen, freeze the picture
until you shut it off, or even view Double PIP window (main
picture and PIP picture side-by-side.
Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set amount
of time that you choose.
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.

T
he television is equipped with external
input and output jacks for use with optional
accessory devices such as VCRs, DVD Player,
Gaming Units, Video Cameras, etc. The following gives a brief explanation of the different

JACK PANEL 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.
