SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Read before operating equipment
This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation precautions which you should be particularly aware of.
1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water
- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.
6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
6B. 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 exces-
sive 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 elec-
tronic 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.
7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
11. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
13. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is 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 mats 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 Fig. below.
15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.
16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
17. 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
appliance; 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.
18. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance
beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
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.

SMART HELP
Note: In the past the
relationship between a TV screen’s width to height, or aspect ratio, has historically been 33% wider than the picture screen height (or a 4:3 aspect ratio). The widescreen format of your TV screen is nearly 80% greater than its measure height (which accounts for a 16:9 aspect ratio). The reason for the 16:9 aspect ratio screen is that it allows for the dramatic and lifelike viewing of original version movies and cinemas (similar to the type found in your local theaters). And the 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen is also a good visual match for how our eyes work in a horizontally oriented field of view and action plane.
Panoramic - Conventional picture is expanded to fill the full 16:9 aspect ratio screen area. Most of the non-linear picture expansion is performed toward the outer edges so that correct proportions are retained in the center of the screen.
4:3 (Standard) ­Conventional TV picture format shows on the screen. Black bar areas show on the side margins of the screen.
16:9 (Expand) - Full widescreen mode with linear expansion to view HD program broadcasts. Used for material originally produced in 16:9 format.
Theater 1/2 - Expanded zoom modes with picture images increased in magnification. Designed for use with “letterbox” or cropped movie images such as found with Cinemascope or Cinerama type program material. Note: With the Theater modes there can be some loss of information at the edges as the picture expands to fill the screen.
Note: The Analog Format
button on the Pronto Remote (touchscreen 1 of 5) can also be used to quickly select the various aspect ratio screen control settings for PTV viewing.

Note: Remember that Content Advisory data or encoded information is not available with all received TV programming (this also includes commercials, and other program spot announcements). Broadcaster’s can decide
not to encode any kind of content advisory ratings with their programming, or they can actually choose to encode programs to be “unrated.” The TV Blocking Options allow the viewer to block any program without content advisory data with the use of its “NO RATING INFORMATION” control. And to block programs that are encoded as “unrated” with its “UNRATED PROGRAMMING” control option.
Since the reception of Content Advisory data can take a few seconds, you may want to use the “CHANNEL CHANGE” option to be sure no viewing is allowed during blocked program channel changes. This can eliminate the display of a few seconds of undesirable video on the TV, or receiving scenes from a Ratings blocked channel source.

Second Audio Program (SAP) is part of the stereo broadcast system. Sent as a additional audio channel SAP can be heard apart from the current TV program sound. TV stations are free to use SAP for any number of purposes, but many experts believe it will be used for foreign language translations of TV shows (or for weather and news bulletins.)
NOTE: If a SAP signal is not present with a selected program, the SAP option can not be selected. "This program does not contain SAP information" will show on the TV screen.

Remember, the audio

AUX(iliary) mode to play sound from the TV (Outputs).
Note: When the TV SPEAKER control is set to "NORMAL" (for TV speaker operation) make sure the VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT control (see next page) is also set to "STEREO" in order for the TV's AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to work properly.

NOTE: The TV’s FIXED AUDIO OUTPUT jacks can also be used for the playback of TV program sound with an external audio amplifier, or home theater hi-fi system, Connection of the FIXED AUDIO OUT(puts) is similar
to the Variable Audio Outputs (as shown above). However, specific sound level adjustments will be made with the controls at the external amplifier or home sound system (instead of through the TV’s audio level controls.)
NOTE: The TV’s PIP AUDIO OUTPUT jacks can also be used for additional stereo playback options such as wireless transmitter headphone hook-up, or as an external amplifier connection source. However, with normal PIP feature operations (when
the ANT A and ANT B Input sources are connected for use), the PIP AUDIO OUTPUTs will switch from stereo to monaural (mono) sound. Stereo sound will only be available with the TV’s Main screen (or ANT A supplied signal) at that time.
Note: Audio Menu controls can be set separately dependent upon the current TV operating mode (NTSC/ANTENNA, AUX 4, AUX 5, etc.). For instance, the TV Speaker On/Off control can be set to “OFF” for normal NTSC TV viewing playback operation; while the same TV Speaker Audio control can also be set to “ON” in a AUX 4 or AUX 5 Input Source mode.

HOW TO USE THE PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP) FEATURE
P
icture-in-Picture (PIP) is the
showing of two pictures on the TV screen at the same time. (One main screen picture and one small inset picture - or PIP). For your ease and convenience this PTV has two separate inputs (ANTenna A and ANTenna B) for your home’s Antenna and/or Cable TV system signal.
The ANT A input is primarily for the TV’s main screen picture. The ANT B input is provided as a second, dedicated source option for the PTV’s PIP “window” and
its feature operations. The signal connected to the ANT B input can be either a Split Signal Input (as described in the section on this page), or another type of external signal source (such as a satellite dish system, additional home antenna, video accessory, etc.).
See the following steps on how channels connected to the ANT(enna) B Input can be shown and used within the PIP window:
Connect your Antenna or
Cable TV
signal to the single 75 ohm INPUT plug on a two-way Signal Splitter (not supplied).
Connect two lengths of RF Coaxial Cable (F-type connectors on both ends) to the two OUTPUT plugs on the two-way Signal Splitter.
Connect the twin OUTPUT
plugs on the Signal Splitter to the
ANT A and ANT B Inputs on the rear of the PTV.

Remember. Although
there are separate COLOR and TINT controls for PIP, the adjustment levels for these controls depend on the TV's main picture. For example: If the main screen is showing a black and white picture, PIP would also be in black and white (even though its source is in color).

This TV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the TV off in case of moderate power surges. Should this occur turn the TV back on by pressing the POWER button once or twice, or unplug and then replug the power cord at the AC outlet. This feature is NOT designed to prevent damage due to high power surges such as those caused by lightning, which is not covered by your warranty.
Cleaning and Care
• To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive- do not use household cleaners). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.
• Specially designed screen cleaning kits are also available which contain anti-static cleaners and cloths designed to get into the ridges of the TV screen. If interested, ask your dealer about an optional Projection TV Screen Cleaning Kit or call our toll-free Accessory Parts ordering number 1-800-851-8885.
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water and a mild soap or detergent. Use a clean dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish.
CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen, can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

GLOSSARY TO TELEVISION TERMS
51
Aspect Ratio * The proportions of a rectangular display screen. NTSC television has a 4:3 ratio; HDTV is 16:9.
Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rear of the TV these connectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio and video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound connection options.
Coaxial Cable * A single solid antenna wire normally matched with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes) directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR.
Display * An on screen message or graphics that help the user operate and adjust TV feature controls. See On Screen Displays (OSD).
HDTV * High Definition Television which offers approximately twice the vertical/horizontal resolution of NTSC video, and sound quality approaching that of compact disc. (Usually taken to mean a picture of 1920 x 1080 pixels in a 16:9 aspect ratio.)
Identify* Method by which a remote control searches and finds an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or Cable Converter). Once the code has been "identified" then the TV remote can operate and send commands to the other product.
LED * Light Emitting Diode or indicator. Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown
on the TV screen that are made available for user adjustments.
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.
NTSC * National Television Standards Committee format devised for TV broadcasting signals in the 1940s (525 lines; 30Hz.)
On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages generated by the TV to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).
Picture -In-Picture (PIP) * Term used when two pictures are shown on the TV screen at the same time. The smaller PIP picture is supplied by a VCR (or other tuner/video playback source). The PIP picture can also be moved and swapped with the TV's main screen picture.
Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers into the TV’s memory circuits. In this way the TV “remembers’’ only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.
Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening found on the TV control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received.
RGB * Red, Green, Blue color component inputs used for connection purposes with personal computers (PCs) and other high definition video devices.
RF * Radio Frequency or modulated signal design used as the carrier for television broadcasts.
Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or additional audio channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. A monaural soundtrack included within the recorded or video signal (usually containing a second language translation for the displayed programming.)
Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the TV of on-screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically disappear from the screen).
SVGA * Super Video Graphics Array S-Video Input * Allows direct connection of high-
resolution video sources, such as a Super VHS videocassette recorder, Laser Disc player, etc. Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity.
Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the two strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor antenna systems. In many cases this type of antenna wire requires an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals designed into the more recent Televisions and VCRs.
Variable Audio Output * An adjustable audio output which allows for volume variations at the source.
VGA * Video Graphics Array
