6A.
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 recep^cles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
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.
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. Obfect and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do

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 Isnt Working

jyiease make these simple
± 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.
No Power
No Picture
No Sound
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.
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 with out a signal source will result in a blank screen.
Check the VOLUME buttons.
Check the MUTE button on the remote control.
If attempting auxiliary equipment hook-ups, check audio jack connections.
• Check TV-VCR-CBL “System” buttons on the remote. Press the remote’s TV System button to send commands to the TV.

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). Wipe 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 finish.
• Check batteries. Replace with AAA 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.

Glossary to Television Terms

Round Cable 7SQ * A single solid antenna wire nomnally 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. (Also known as Coaxial Cable.)
Closed Caption * Broadcast standard which allows you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired this feature uses on-screen "text boxes" to show dialogue and conversations while the TV pro
gram is in progress.
Direct AudioAideo 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 acces sories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound connection options.
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.
On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).
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 frequently 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).
Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the Television 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.
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.
