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.

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.

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 ^pe described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the appliance.

11. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so

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

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.

Tips If Something Isn't Working

jpiease make these simple

L checks before calling for ser

vice. These tips can save you
time and money since charges for
TV installation and adjustment of
customer controls are not cov
ered under your warranty.

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.

No Power

No Picture

No Sound

Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into
outlet and push POWER button again.
Check to be sure outlet is not on a wall switch.

Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV’s ANT/CABLE plug ?
Check the CABLE/ YES NO control for correct position.
Check INPUT control for correct position. The VCR-AUX position without a
signal source will result in a blank screen.

Check the VOLUME buttons.
Check the MUTE button on the remote control.
Check the SPEAKER on-screen control. OFF position will eliminate sound at the set.

If attempting auxiliary equipment hook-ups, check audio jack connections.

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). Wpe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when
cleaning.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water. 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 rinish.

Check batteries. Replace with AA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries

if necessary.
Clean the remote and the remote sensor window on the TV.

Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into
outlet and push POWER button again.
Check to be sure TV outlet is not on a wall switch.

Repeat channel selection.

Add desired channel numbers (CHANNEL control) into TV memory.

Check CABLE/ YES NO control for correct position.

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 (wait 10 seconds) 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.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard
that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.

Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel
numbers into the Television’s memory circuits. In this way the
Television “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
Television control panel through which infrared remote control
command signals are received.

Setup Mode * Automatic feature control settings made by the TV.
Designed for first time set-up and use. Settings for signal connec
tions (antenna or cable TV), plus channel program memory are
held in the TV's memory (even if the set is unplugged and moved
to a new location.)

Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or additional audio
channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS)
broadcast standard. The most fi'equently proposed use for SAP is
the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV program material.

Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number
is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the
Television of on screen displays or information (rather than wait
ing for the displays to “time out” or automatically disappear from
the screen).

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.

to two years from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement or
repair of all parts except the picture tube, and for all labor charges.
After two years from the day of purchase, you pay for the replacement
