SAP is an additional part of the stereo broadcast system. Sent as a third audio channel SAP can be heard apart from the current TV program sound.

Tips If Something Isn't Working

lease 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 or S-VHS 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.

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 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.

Glossary to Television Terms

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.

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 AndioA^deo 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.).

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.

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).

Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the two strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor antenna systems.
