IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read before operating equipment

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

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 manufacturers 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 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.

• 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.

• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electron­ic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could
unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product dam­age and/or personal injury.

18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to

a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from

power lines.

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.

22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that may

result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:

• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as marked on
the unit.

• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).

• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.

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.

A

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.

Items Included with This TV

As you unpack your TV, please note that this Directions
for Use manual contains safety-tip information and

Factory Service Center locations, as well as a Warranty
Registration Card, remote control, and batteries for use

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.
