6A.

Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

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 №at may impede

the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

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

11.

that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed

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.

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.

GHOST CANCELLATION

'ouldn‘t it be great to view your TV picture free of

ghosts or other image problems? Well, your TV offers the first real step toward reducing or totally eliminating ghosting and other image inteiference. This should be especially good news for those home viewers that currently use external or outdoor antennas to supply their picture.

Soon local stations will broadcast their TV programs with Ghost Cancellation information encoded in the TV signal. These encoded signals, when passed through an accessory device and the special circuitry provided in your TV, can dramatically reduce ghost line images and other interference

problems.

Contact your dealer or call our Information Center number (423) 475-8869for more details on this exciting new development in television broadcast technology.

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 1 minute, then reinsert plug into outlet and push POWER button again.

Check to be sure outlet is not on a wall switch.

Check antenna connections on the rear of the TV. Are they properly secured to the antenna plug on the TV? Check the CABLE TUNING control for correct position. Check PICTURE SOURCE control for correct position AUX, or S-VIDEO position

without a signal source will result in a blank screen.

Check the CLOSED CAPTIONS control. Some TEXT modes could block the screen.

Check ±e VOLUME and MUTE buttons on the TV and remote. Check the TV SPEAKER NORMAIVOFF control for the correct position. If attempting auxiliary equipment hook-ups, check audio jack connections and that the auxiliary equipment is on and in the proper operating modes.

• 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.

• 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.

Glossary to Television Terms

Inputs * Connector plugs which allow the introduction of distinct audio and video signals into the TV from accessory VCRs, camcorders, etc* These plugs bypass the normal tuner or

RF/Antenna signal circuitry.

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 his Television feature controls. See On Screen Displays (OSD).

Direct AudioA^ideo Inputs * Located on the rear of the TV these connectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for ±e 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.

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.

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

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.).

Menu ^ An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the Television screen ±at are made available for user adjustments.

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 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 tile Television control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received.

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.

automatically disappear from the screen).

S-Video Input * Allows direct connection of high-resolution video sources, such as a Super VHS videocassette recorder, Laser Disc player, etc. Provides optimum 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 * TAn adjustable audio output which allows for volume variations at the source.
