connected 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.
70-1984, 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

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.

NOTE: Properoperation of yourTV is not dependent upon the connection of the PIPANT(enna) “B” input.The main purpose of the
input is to provide an easily connected, dedicated picture source for the PIPfeature. You can, however, use the PIPANT(enna) “B” input to
connect and display other signal sources such as an outdoor or indoor antenna or a video game player.
Although the PIPANT(enna) “B” input can be used and swapped as the source forthe TV’s main picture, certain setup features (such
as AutoChron) are based only on your TV’s detecting a signal at the ANT(enna) “A” input. To ensure that all features are operating properly, you may not want to rely solely on the PIPANT(enna) “B” input as your TV’s main screen signal source.

FEATURES
Your new projection television and its packaging 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. The
batteries used by your product should not be thrown away when depleted but should be handed in and disposed of as small chemical waste. Please find out about the local regulations concerning how to dispose of your old television, batteries, and packaging
materials whenever it is time to replace them.
End-of-Life Disposal
This Projection Television is capable of connecting
to both the current analog television signals of today
as well as interfacing with new, upcoming digital
source playback products and devices. This TV
includes multiple signal connectors (Component
Video, S-Video, and Composite Video), which give
you a variety of equipment playback options for digital set-top boxes, satellite receivers, cable boxes,
and other digital devices.
While there may exist some digital devices with
connections not available on this television, you
should be adequately prepared for the vast majority
of products coming onto the digital consumer electronics’ market. NOTE: You should always use the
connection output on digital devices that gives the
highest level of picture quality possible. As listed
above, the Component Video (or Y P
B PR) input
delivers the best color and picture reproduction, followed by S-Video, and then Composite Video. In
addition to these inputs, your television also
includes the standard 75-ohm cable signal connector
for use with antennas or analog cable boxes.
